Internet Commentators usually get paid for .50 RMB Yuan ($0.09) for each article they posted on the Internet, which made them known as a nick name 'Wu Mao (five dimes)'. A dedicated Wumao produces hundreds, even thousands posts on a typical day. They are also referred to as 'Party of Wu Mao', because they usually launch coordinated attacks even they do not know each other.
