The Shills' Conundrum

6  2018-02-22 by nWoFan4Lyfe

Shills, we understand you need money and have no morals.

Your attempts are necessary to stifle conversation among the weak and easily bullied, but your overreaching exposes you for all that can see.

Your posts are aimed at idiots, but this is not the place for those.

I enjoy your lackluster "work", but as you continue, do so knowing that you expose yourself every time you say anything.

I agree with you, but I have been also called a shill here. :/

Am real.

Everyone has.. I think it's a form of initiation here at /r/conspiracy.

Was this post really necessary

As necessary as the 98 Hogg posts today

I've never learned so much about someone I never knew I never wanted to know anything about!

Especially all of the “confirmed” “proof” we have. People are out for blood.

Still more actual evidence than the "OMG Trump sold the US to Russia!" "conspiracy".

Feeling insecure about something that you’d like to talk about?

Nah, feeling just fine. Are you feeling insecure about my comparison of one bullshit conspiracy to an even more bullshit one?

Why do you need to push your dear leader worship into a thread not even about him?

So rejecting the "Donald Trump sold US to the Russians" theory is now equal to "dear leader worship"?

You're Trump Derangement Syndrome is showing.

Fuck Trump and fuck the MSM.

Im equating you feeling the need to bring that into a dialogue not about him. All through this thread you’ve contributed nothing but disruption. Why are you so angry?

Go back to r/"politics" where you TDS bullshit holds water.

Good one.

The irony is, if this Hogg's kids was actually a paid shill.. these posts are muddying water quite a lot.

Is this comment necessary?

Why are you offended by a post mocking the shills that we all know exist?

Reading a bit much into that? How do you know they are offended?

Its called basic logic and reasoning. You should try it sometimes.

Oh so pretending you can read people’s minds is basic logic and reasoning now?

You don't test well do you?

lel

You've got quite the ego, tragic your wits can't keep up.

OP posts about shills. A user immediately posts a defensive response to it.

"I don't understand the connection here!"

Interesting use of quotes, considering literally no one said that.

OP posts about shills, a user posts a pretty mundane response. Another user interprets mundane response as defensiveness and pretends there are no other possible explanations.

Better luck next time.

"I don't understand the connection here!"

Swing, and a miss.

Peace out.

When I first read the novel 1984, I thought who on earth would actually enforce newspeak? What human would do that to their fellow man? Now I know you just have to pay them $12.50 an hour and they line up to sell us out.

Not even. Pay them nothing but fake internet points and they will virtue signal their hearts out!

Those people are called useful idiots.

The whole point of shills is create them.

Anyone in Canada may realize that thought police and newspeak is becoming a reality. Think about the Canadian Prime Minister and his "peoplekind" remark. Or the fact Ontario has legislation that punishes people for not calling someone by their preferred pronoun.

$12.50 :D they wish :D

How does one become a paid shill? I imagine getting paid to troll on the internet would be a lot better than what I’ve been doing, plus there’s probably no dress code and I might be able to do it from home. Where can I send my resume? Do I need to send samples of some of my troll work?

Oh look, this retarded comment for the thousandth time.

waiting for alt accounts to upload to the top.

Didn't we just have a big to do about Russia paying people to be shills on the internet.

Perhaps learn to speak Russian and move to Moscow.

Wouldn’t it make more sense for them to use native American speakers? You know, to get the jargon and lingo. I think a lot of Russians don’t get sarcasm and unless they were specifically taught American English would use a lot of words and spellings that a British person might use instead, which would out them.

Good pitch.

I'd hire you.

"Only Russians manipulate the internet!"

Do you even hear yourself?

Who are you quoting with these ""?

Its not surprising that you are confused by something so obvious.

Just to confirm, you did misuse the quotes.

Just to confirm, you do deserve to be mocked for either pretending to be stupid or actually being it.

So salty this evening.

Nah, when I'm bored at work I kill time by occupying the time of the people ruining this subreddit.

That's kinda sad, buddy. Have you heard of Candy Crush?

Nah, thats your level.

Which isn't surprising considering you cannot even make a connection between an dimwit posting that "you need to speak Russian to become an internet shill" and a person mocking that idea by posting "only Russians can be internet trolls".

You're coming at the wrong person regarding Russian trolls. I just came here to confirm that you were misusing quotes.

Which you did again, by the way.

lol I think they use quotes differently in Russia. This troll is still picking up the idiosyncrasies of American English.

They're pointing out that the corporate media just admitted to this being a thing that happens on the internet. They're not saying that only Russians do it, they're offering a counter example to the troll who seems to be acting like companies don't pay people to infiltrate social media.

Dude calm down. You're misrepresenting this person's comments. Learn to use quotation marks properly.

Nah

Get a job at a PR company that does "social media outreach" or some other euphemism. You won't find them publicly calling themselves "internet shills" or anything. I think the politically correct term they'd use for themselves is "public relations".

And I wonder if jail time will be in their future once exposed.

I'm gonna go with no.

Eh. Who knows. Could be treasonous. It all depends. Man, haha if I was one of those tards I'd be afraid of the Company getting hacked and my name/personal info getting dumped into the Internet. Or maybe some pissed employee leaking.. anyway. Fuck em

I mean, it could happen. But I doubt it. I honestly don't think there are that many paid shills to begin with. I think there are a handful strategically placed and they start the ball rolling and the devout extremists pick it up and run with it. I'd buy there are a LOT more useful idiots than there are shills.

I agree, for sure

The evolution of shills. I'm noticing more of these shills are acquiring "personas" that mirror actual conspiracy theorist but have no substance. They shit post and when you ask them where the conspiracy is or to provide more evidence of their claim they accuse you of shilling. Or they astounded that a fellow conspiracy theorist could even ask for more evidence or ask for them to expound on their theory. These accounts however, have plenty of time argue with their alt accounts.

Nope.

For me, the dead giveaway is when they use grade-school level verbal attacks, as if all U.S. citizens are dull-minded fools. "Tin foil hat wearing, crazy conspiracy nutjobs!" If they presented logical arguments, they might actually be effective, but their only goal is to foster emotional reactions by using time-tested, emotionally-charged wording.
