SHILL IDENTIFICATION MANUAL: Ever wondered what the difference between a newb genuinely asking questions and a POS shill here only to sow discord and lies? The difference can hard to spot, but u/MyPillowHurts puts on a master class for anyone on GreatAwakening wondering how to spot 'em at work!

When I think of shill, all the definitions given fit, but in addition I think that shill implies an association to a superior (higher up) entity, or a group.
The reason I think this is because few people, not motivated by a higher allegiance, would put energy into shilling simply to satisfy an emotional idiosyncrasy, or advance a personal ideological position. Most people in standalone mode would simply avoid a site that did not agree with their thinking, I believe.
Absolutely agree.
