>>54791912Here? Only shills are in the TCG threads talking about how "happy they are about their new purchase of [X SET]"
Other places? It's pretty obvious when you look at it over a longer period of time. Low effort threads about new game/anime/products that magically disappear after a certain time. Ubisoft games get a consistent month of after-release shilling on /v/ for example. Barebones OP's are also an example.
I don't even think shills are that big of a problem. Defending a game's qualities isn't what ACTUAL shills do, because as
>>54791700 said, real PAID shills don't care or know about what they're shilling. They care about is that you "know the name" then will spout some lines recited to them by the contractor.
Political activists (also paid) and concern trolls are way worse for discussion. That shit actually lowers the quality of all threads.
