I'm not sure if I see them a lot on reddit, or people are just really dumb and repeat the same talking points over (and over) again.

Don't really have any experience myself, no.

On an unrelated note, have you experienced the refreshing vigor provided by Fiji Natural Artesian Water? It's Nature's Gift !

I kinda feel like a lot of stuff on reddit is an advertisement, especially stuff you can just go to the store and buy on forums like mildlyinteresting and stuff. Granted, a pair of shoes with a cat face on them could be interesting to some(even mildly), I'll always find stuff that you cant just buy to be way more interesting(such as, i dont know, the way ice forms around in object in winter or something)

Wouldn't publicly admitting to being a paid shill, immediately get you fired from that job?

"I don't know why people keep saying bad things about the safety conditions of Amazon, I've worked here for 3 years and have never felt unsafe."

-Vaguely quoted from some Amazon worker that was assigned to shill for Amazon after breaking their leg in the warehouse.

The correct term is "community outreach specialist".

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

The allegation of "paid shills" is generally a disinformation tactic used to write off dissent. And regardless you're going to hear a lot of the same talking points because when somebody hears something said in a way that makes sense to them and articulates their argument, they're prone to repeat it or a variation thereof. That's not even taking into account that a lot of people will reach the same conclusions on an individual basis. Which isn't to say that there aren't *some* paid agents, but it's a super-minority of the overall base where the vast majority aren't being compensated for their actions.

The estimated number of shills is definitely artificially inflated by how many fucking alts Zeus has

For some reason I thought you were talking about crisis actors. Which is much funnier and horrifying at the same time.
