Paid political shills on the Shroomery?
#23417119 - 07/06/16 02:18 PM (7 years, 6 months ago) |

I was just reading a thread on another forum where someone was confessing to having been a paid political shill.
He said that he was paid money to search through popular web forums for mentions of his politician and make posts in favour of them.
To do this he was given a script. If someone posted about quality X, he would mention Y.
On this forum right now there are both Trump and Hillary supporters who joined the forum recently and who do not (or very rarely) post about drugs.
It's obvious that some of them have never, ever taken magic mushrooms and probably never intend to.
Am I right or am I just paranoid? And, if I'm right, what do we do about it?

it's been documented that campaigners utilize social media, but i don't think anyone cares about how a bunch of drop outs and criminals (to them, not me) vote. i could be wrong though.

Hostile Universe is clearly a paid political shill.
He registered right around when elections started picking up and i usually only see him post in political threads. Mainly the Bernie thread.

Confessing to a act doesn't make it true.

"confessing to an* act" (use an before a number or word that sounds like it starts w a vowel, srry pet peeve)
but, I tend to agree w qman here, even tho there are tons of claims and I'm sure legitimate shills, w/o offering up any proof I can only first, guess about the motive of the shill to speak up and secondly envision this conversation turn into a subjective witch hunt.

I was accused of being a CIA operative troll on a financial forum a few years ago! They hated that I started to disagree with their investment thesis, so most of the members jumped on that bandwagon.
It was really funny when 50 people are convinced you're a CIA troll trying to spread misinformation, I couldn't convince them otherwise.

after a while I might have started playing into it, I'm an ass like that.
but case in point right there, also I feel like this forum is too diverse for any particular shill to make waves.

There are shills/ trolls all over the internet. Even some has more than two accounts on each discussion sites. Like they uses them in a way as back up. Like they pretend that they know all about this person that he is a good guy, but really he is the same person. They uses them to prove that they are right and or to help get rid or to annoy someone else from off the board or discussion. Like for an example, if one poster tells a troll that they has small hands. The troll will use his other account to reply, Hey Bill, when did you won that trophy for having the world biggest penis, as if he actually had won a trophy for having the biggest penis in the world. So we are in the land of make believe once we get on the internet because of these trolls or shills. And so I keeps on posting the truth over and over.

Yeah I had him in mind. He seems really dumb and simple-minded but that's because he's reading off a script.
I'd bet $20 that he disappears for good straight after the Presidential election and no-one on this site ever hears from him again.

If he's not a shill then he's incredibly fucking dim, because he's posting on a magic mushrooms forum and appears to have no interest in them.

HU doesnt utilize the methodology (which we know thanks to Snowden) of gov shills.
If hes getting paid for his content, woe is whatever organization thats signing those checks.

It seems nearly all of the conservative users have no interest in drug conversation.
That said, neither do I

I suspect Douglas Howard is another, as he also appears to have no interest in drugs and mostly spams retarded shit about Hillary and Trump.

The majority that is on this boards are shills, but they are trying to claim themselves as not being one by claiming to recognize that there are shills on this board. This reminds me of and episode of the Twilight Zone. That a group of travelers that were on a bus, that they were station at a small diner. The bus had to stop there because of the bridge might be weak that it will collapse if the bus goes on it. One of the passengers were an alien from Mars. But the alien was pretending that the others were one or pretending that everyone were paranoid. I know that corporate shills are on this board that cannot stand someone to put down the truth of what is really going on. I'm going to say that it is about 85% are here that are shills from different organizations. But Hillary belongs to corporation and which corporation want her to be president because she loves money and willing to do anything for it. And so whom you are shilling for?
