I feel like trolls are a bit too self-congratulatory.

They're always talking about how many people they've fooled and the numbers, objectively are not very high.

"I fooled the underpaid person who writes clickbait headlines to attract eyeballs to adverts by doing their job for them" isn't really the great triumph it is often made out to be.

It's like 'revealing' the mermaid you donated to PT Barnum's museum was a fish and a monkey sewed together. He knows and doesn't care.

If people come to see it, he profits, if they don't, well it was worth a go.
