Paid in corn dogs

To be paid for a labor or service with something miniscule and not worth the time spent, such as free snack food or exposure. Usually done to “volunteers” at conventions and events.

I was going to volunteer for the comic convention, but they wanted me to work 8 hours and I would only be paid in corn dogs.

Paid Mole

Someone who’s been paid (or benefits in some shady way) to infiltrate a group, workplace, or online community and secretly report back or stir things up from the inside.

“The paid moles are tweeting y’all. They been trying for days. But I move on what time? Ok bye—to the group chat you go.”
—Nicki Minaj (via X)
