To me, and just speaking for me, the term shill is a phrase used by those who are bothered that someone disagrees with them. Again, just from my perspective, it is a term I rarely, if ever heard on Voat before the great pizzagate influx, after which it has become a common way to attempt to invalidate any point of view someone doesn't like, or an act they disagree with. Now, when I see the term throw out, I'm immediately turned off and in my mind, have decided that I no longer need to read further, no matter what the complaint. If there is a legitimate definition of the word ... shill ... I'd like to know what it is ... but otherwise, to me it's just a lazy man's way of arguing that someone else's point must be invalid.
