I want to get some first hand experience seeing some of these recruitment processes.

I imagine that they won't be happening for much longer because of the Bots taking the place of people, but there will likely be dying communities that represent these types of things.

Does anyone know where recruitment for these sorts of brigades is happening?

Any chatrooms you know of, any sites or sources or forums? I have been never able to find a good source of this information and it seems like it trends with the topic but certain key players continue to operate

I know for a fact that this forum is now targeted by advertising....so was this a corporate decision? A lone worker surreptitiously doing after hours to promote their work? Or is this a brigade?

Or worse.....has a market formed.....a side market where mods and highly respected handles are used to disseminate advertising.....for pay?
