The shills themselves get paid per post/response or hourly, but the company that deploys shills gets paid to shift the opinion of a board/forum/website. Responses only help them understanding their target and tailoring attacks, but getting no responses can be understood as having no opposition, which they can sell as "hey we changed the opinion of website x" to investors. Since they get money from investors so they need to show they're effective, or at least pretend they're effective, or maybe they even actually believe they're effective.
