Paid Protests Are Real — Joe Pags Challenges the Man Behind It

Are the protests you see on TV truly grassroots — or are they paid for?

Joe Pags sits down with Adam Swart, the controversial CEO of Crowds On Demand, a company that literally hires people to attend protests, rallies, and public events.

In this no-holds-barred conversation, Joe challenges Swart on everything:
• Why do clients pay for crowds?
• How does this shape media coverage and public opinion?
• Do the hired protesters even believe in the causes they’re representing?

Swart defends the practice as modern PR. Joe presses on whether it’s manufacturing consent.

🔥 A fascinating look inside the business of paid activism — and how perception can be bought in America.
