In the context of 4chan, its liking a thing they don't like. Same goes for the soul/soulless shit.

The literal definition is someone paid to influence people to buy a product, but people also use it as a generalist "company apologist" to insult those who relentlessly defend a product to the point of making excuses for objectively bad practices such as removal of content

Shills are hired by GameFreak to promote Swshit. These games are so shitty that they need to promote it this way. some people shill for free though

Honest answer: shill is someone who advertises a product in hopes of making money/success in return.

For example, a lot of people in the FGC shilled Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite early in its life cycle not because it was a good game, but because they wanted to receive support or sponsorships from Capcom.

a buzzword. doesn't mean anything anymore. If you don't like someone, you call them a shill.

Someone who devotes an excessive amount of effort into defending something to the point where it comes off as extreme and unhealthy. Shills of something will act as if it is their life goal to change your mind about a particular subject.

Someone also uses "Shill" to define overpromoted/marketed Pokémon like Lucario, Charizard, Greninja and of course Pikachu

>actually mad
People like Joe Merrick obviously among many others do indeed get paid to shill. "People" like (you) do it for free, pathetic really...

Sorry pointing out that he's an actual paid shill struck a nerve, or was is the fact that I called (you) out as definitely one of those unpaid ones that plagues this board?

Something shilled is something excessively advertised, shills are zombies who advertise products without necessarily being paid by a company. A “shillmon” is something like charizard or greninja, who are heavily pandered in the franchise.

"Someone I don't like." Tranny means the same thing. So did cůmbrăīn, before it was filtered. And cûck. And soýböý. Basically, nobody here has arguments, they're mostly young kids, so they stick to the most heinous insult they can think of: a single word they picked up elsewhere, used incorrectly.

The actual definition is someone who's paid to promote a product or brand.
And a "shillmon" is a pokemon that usually gets lots of advertising like Pikachu, Charizard, Lucario, etc.
On 4chan though "shill" means "company apologist", someone who will vehemently defend a company despite all its objectively bad practices.
Like people defending cutting the national dex for basically nothing or defending GF making pokemon an annual series and never taking their time to make an actual quality game.
Although "shill", like a lot of buzzwords on 4chan, often just devolves into "person I don't like".

Real definition: A person paid to endorse a product favourably, while pretending to be impartial.

4chan definition: Person who likes things I don't like.

Someone who sucks a corporation’s dong; e.g. when somebody makes excuses for and praises GameFreak for bullshit they’ve done and thinks of their work as a great gift
