I don't think the goal of paid trolls is to stop the conversation completely. After all, it is a source of income for them.

If people are just confused and turned off by all the noise, that's a bad thing. I suspect the ultimate goal of paid trolls is to increase the noise to the point that people throw up their arms and go back to watching TV.
