Word of the day: Shill

The word shill has become too mainsteam on the DNM sub. It's getting quite irritating. I can't seem to find a topic without the word being posted in it. It feels like the word has lost any value it has and people don't even know what it means, they just throw it around like you throw the next hooker or side bitch around. "Has anyone seen this vendor around?" YOU ARE A SHILL for bringing up it's name.

^ That's what it's come to. Chill the fuck out that is not shilling. Another example is when someone write's a review of vendor/product and there comes dogshit calling shill because the review is too good. Just shut the fuck up, it's a review FFS.

Learn how to use the word appropriately or don't say it at all.

YOU ARE A SHILL.

Shill is like calling someone a faggot in middle school. Edgy enough to get attention but doesn't really apply....

True indeed. I've seen it used wrong a lot also. As in a replacement for "badmouthing "

This may just be the best post I have ever read. I agree with you a million percent. The vendors name is often mentioned in the description of the post, so if they don't like it, why the fuck did they click and read it. Is it just so they can bitch about it? I just don't get it.

I totally agree. It was a rare word in the past only used in actual obvious shill situations.

Now in almost every thread that contains negative talk of any vendor, or any legit support for a vendor , the word SHILL is mentioned at least 3 times. It's extremely overused at this point

You don't think some reviews have been shill though? I agree, most of the reviews, whether good or not, are legitimate. But I've definitely seen some shilly bullshit on here before.

Let me see if I can dig some up.

Seems they atleast know what it means then, but are applying it poorly.
