Your love, likes and support keeps us happy. It’s the reason we slave over a hot keyboard every day. But it’s not all rainbows and unicorns in Profitalist land. Sometimes it’s shit bricks and trolls.
We get a lot of people hatin’ on us for being loud and proud. Why? Because we’re different.
Being different always attracts the haters.
A lot of people are afraid to be themselves online, especially when it’s their business page. But we aren’t afraid to stand out.
None of us Profitalist peeps sugar coat the truth. We pride ourselves on our blunt honesty.
This means if we think you’re being a total dick… we’ll tell you. If we think your marketing plan sucks… we’ll tell you. But we’ll always offer you solutions, too. Having said that, if you’re a lifelong dick I’m not sure I can undickify you, but I’m willing to try!
The problem with being different is that standing out brings us to the attention of that vocal minority called INTERNET TROLLS. Yes, that sadistic 5% of the internet who love to create angsty drama wherever they go. They don’t have an actual discussion, they’ll just spout a load of bollocks, stir the pot, and then giggle in glee when it all blows up.
We TRY not to take it personally. We laugh a lot. Sometimes we enter into the flame war and retaliate with equal kamikaze abandon. But, mostly, we just roll our eyes and ignore. But, hey, we’re human and sometimes, it annoys the shit out of us, especially when we get trolls calling us scumbags for daring to place a sponsored Facebook post on their news feed (because clearly, we personally picked their profile just to piss them off).
So do we cry about it?
Nope. We get creative!
On behalf of all the non-sadistic, sane people on the internet we decided to create a series called, “You know you’re an internet troll if…”.
Call it the first step in our anger management program. Maybe it can be yours too?
Enjoy!
Here’s our (latest) reply to all the haters.

Do you have an instruction manual on how to become an internet troll? Or are internet trolls typically just naturally talented at being said troll? Thanks.
Hmm, now there is a good idea! Step 1, be a 30 year old virgin. Step 2…
