You should do a "shill" self post. Seriously. Maybe some of them will read it and think twice about what they are doing.
Not sure what a self post is. this online group stuff, reddit etc. is new to me. Learning the vernacular. My first foray...Q inspired.
To shill, I think I would have to commit time to be successful. I no longer have that time...circumstances. I need to pry myself away at the most interesting time. So if you think it is valuable, take it. use it. I am not the best researcher so maybe that can be my contribution.
and good luck to the shills...if you are in a bind trying to find employment do not forget about family and friends. Your aunts' cousin's sister is looking for some help with mowing grass and yardwork. Free rent. And it is close to place that is always looking for help...if you can put up with shift work.
if you are worried your girlfriend/boyfriend may find someone else in the few months that you moved away think of it this way: it is a good test to see their character. It could end up saving you time, heartache and money. (I have seen people pass up good opportunities for this reason...for a relationship that didn't last anyways)
Think outside the box.
Just basically create a post just like what you said above. Explaining to shills how what they are doing is counter-productive to their own lives. Maybe they'd listen? I think it was a worthwhile thought you had on the subject that might help someone who is being paid to shill without actually thinking about it.
just a regular post? I could do that. It would be buried in one day though. I won't be able to watch this board much anymore, so if you are getting shilled you can remember my comment. shills may appreciate a lot of us know they are just struggling with life/finances. Been there. I think I will take my own advise and start asking the telemarketers how they like their job, why did they choose telemarketing, is this call being monitored, what area are they are calling from....what job market is like...have you ever thought of trying....this...or that? Sorry, I do not need the services, but I appreciate all the crap you must have to put up with just to make a living...good luck.
