Blunt & Direct Time:
The shills aren't going anywhere. Why? Simply because anons are here working. So, they will be here, working. If one gets fired for being ineffective, another will replace them. As long as the funds and the motivation exists, shills will exists. nothing that anons do, or don't so, will stop that. Filter, report, ban, gatekeep, reply with ridicule, reply with facts, reply with emotion, don't reply at all, it doesn't matter. They'll be here until their places of business are no more. That's the fact of the matter. Discern, and handle it as you so choose anons. Just be sure to get some substance on the board in the process.
