On a board that's probably 80/20 conservative/liberal it's puzzling why anyone would think that the 20% are paid shills

And it's humorous how often these asinine threads come up "calling out the libs"

We definitely had some Russian bots and shills on here in 2014 and 2015 when this board got super Pro-Putin because Obama was a pussy.

I don’t know if TD is high profile enough, but places like reddit obviously get AstroTurfed all the time.

80/20 is generous. it's probably closer to 99/1

Ehhh...

I don't believe IB is a shill at all. I actually find myself in agreement with him/her somewhat often compared to other posters that generally rack up the downvotes.

IB really goes off the deepest end about muh tariffs, but is honestly pretty reasonable and agreeable in several other subjects.

State and federal employees are technically paid shills. They are overwhelmingly liberal and will stick out above other libs

So YOU say.

And assuming for one second you AREN’T a liar, all that “$1-2 million” does is go right back into feeding the beast.


we like to joke about how most if it goes to pay a few people to run the twitter account. it's really a sad joke at the end of the day.

i'm actually pretty conservative when it comes to how taxpayer money is spent. i've advocated for an across the board 1% decrease in department budgets per year until the budget is balanced for a long time now.

Good poster when you’re not trolling. Left, like you claim, but you can think for yourself and have proved it over time.

Always read your take.

For this forum, you are Far Left. In the real world, Center-Left.

I am a Center-Right libertarian, which puts me about two standard deviations left of the center for this place, and you are certainly well-Left of me.

TD is plenty high-profile enough for paid shills for business, products and political causes.

There are essentially human bot mills (ShareBlue) that specialize in this thing. Essentially you sign up and then get paid to be active on social media, comment sections, message boards, etc. and you get paid to spread left wing propaganda.

In other words, they aren't organic users who happen to be left wing, they are paid left wing activists there to disseminate the leftist narrative.

How can you explain bmy?
Have you seen his posts on other boards? He’s a bit different and likes to frick around with people really hard on TD.

I’m not saying he doesn’t believe some of what he posts, but he’s lighthearted, massive troll on TD.

I don't think jjdoc is a shill. He just has his worldview and sticks to it no matter what you put in front of him. Raise info that's counter to one of his Breitbart articles and he'll completely gloss over it. He's not even remotely interested in considering that the info he digests could be wrong.
