Are you thinking of CHu Mao? Chu Mao gets paid by direct pay straight to his bank account. Wu mao does not. A wu mao like a wushu master must earn his living by disobedience, honor and good deeds. Wu Mao just like the WU Shu master are harmonious people. They live as one and take care of each other. They get paid in the form of subsidaries and not actual monies.
what is a wu mao?
nevermind:
The posters who are paid half a kuai by the government to post good things about China.
Some beleive Wu Mao exists, some do not. I do believe, too many daily examples seen on Internet.
For those that do not know, a WuMao is a person with political correct thinking that surfes the Internet looking at sites and answering questions with the "official" response, for which they get paid an amount agreed upon when contract was signed. Normally they work for a governemnt agency, and do the WuMao thing as a part time job after working hours.
If you do not think is true, check the following memo out, I even will give the source for it if it still works.

This document made me a beleiver of the manipulation of the Internet. My guess is that they are paid by the local agency that contracts them.
nevermind:
No need to disbelieve. The Party elders recognized them in a letter to the party telling the party to knock it off. And the staff at a English Chinese paper admitted to being told to do it.
