There's some new shill tactics going on. Theres an uptick in lazy screenshotted articles making big claims ... without sharing the article. Some of this is just laziness but another scheme ive noticed is that they will share the link in the article down in the comments only for it to 404 allowing them to pass off their nonsense and when asked claim censorship. Ive seen this exact method used more then once this week. Is someone rushing in to post a comment on these and trying to confirm the OPs claims again with only claiming to have seen the alleged article? Then you should be skeptical of the info pushed. They seem to be working in teams doing this to muddy the water, clog the feed, and hopefully boost the OPs claim legitimacy (whatever it supposedly was). It also seems to occur far more frequently with the "omg Kharzarian Jooos" crowd. Interpret that however youd like but it seems kind COININTELPROish

Lately we have a giant uptick in foreign posts which isnt necessarily a bad thing but requires even greater skepticism and caution because most western audeinces are unable to rank the legitimacy of the source due to it being unfamiliar. If you are upvoting something in russian without translating it or without even the ability to translate it (scanned documents are a good example) ...stop it. These posts usually come with some high claims attached in the title again with no way to verify aside from someone on the internet swearing its totally true. if you cant read it and are going off only what OP told you without a way to translate yourself you are essentially taking CNNs word for it.

People who bring forth legit claims are never shy about sauce and dont have to be asked for it usually. They dont make up excuses and they dont think you should just take their word for it and get offended when you dont.

Shills however are the exact opposite. Its an info war frens. Youve gotta be very dilligent and methodical with how you consume and analyze info of any kind.
