So a shill means someone is paid to be a fanboy then what is the opposite of being a shill? Because if you can clearly be paid to promote something as a consumer then you can also just as easily be paid to defame a product.

Like if I'm a shill to Capcom then what are you people who talk non-stop shit about them? Do you believe yourself a reasonable and logical person hating Capcom that much? LMAO!!!

The real meaning of shill is that the 'shill' is ignoring logical points and reasonings and discounting them with no good reason. So they're no different than someone intentionally trying to manipulate public perception of the thing. That's why you end up with the (2 cents deposited into your bank account) meme

Shill gambits are just another way to deflect from the subject at hand.

Let's hire shills to post on a videogame message board that has less than 2000 active users and barley gets any mentions in any gaming journalism.

I always find Shills to be the ones that do over the top product placement or go out of their way to recommend a service/product.

Its the fakeness of it all.

They may not even use the product as well
