I hear you, but I ain't even mad :)

The thing that made me think "shills" is seeing the same writing patterns appear, and, more obviously, the same lines patterned right out of the Correct The Record handbook (eg., "Trump let us down!" "Trump is a Jew plant!," etc.).

Disagreement is great, but fluffy garbage gets my jimmies shaking.

Got any examples? I'm interested.

Sure, here's a couple that inspired me to make the post:

Typical lines, typical follow-ups, plus old account + tiny contribution point scores

This one is just weird... Very disjoint notions in both the post itself as well as the comments; the post rocketed up, despite being very outside the type of thing that typically does here

For that last one, have a look at the comments, too: either old, low-CP accounts, or brand new accounts. Some of the new guys are fags, but not in that volume, I'm sure.

I suspect that the bot armies are coming in now, now that there is a huge exodus going on (not just gunsales, but any sales, now b& on leddit). They're trying to get the new people who haven't been hardened, and shift discourse, by scatter-gunning poorly-conceived responses that tend in one direction.

WARNING: Please don't look at the image links I posted in that first thread - they're bad.
