In a way, as long as the shills don't overwhelm and downvote important posts, it doesn't matter that there are shills. Here's why: the fact is you can't really trust anyone. Period. You can only trust your own critical thinking and reasoning. As long as you don't take everything other people say as gospel, and you pick out the parts that don't add up, it should be fine. Some people say "trust but verify." but I prefer "doubt and verify." Obviously shills giving misinformation slow things down, but if people remain critical, over the long haul they can't stop people from figuring out what's bs and what's accurate.

Edit: I just thought of something: Do bots ever correct typos? Presumably bots would gather words from actual posts and so might occasionally use misspellings etc., but I doubt they would be programmed to later edit and correct their mistakes. So, and I'm not sure about this, but I think if someone has never edited one of their own posts after the 2-3 minute shadow edit time frame, then they are most likely a bot. just a thought.

So I looked at your history and saw that you speak English, so I'm not entirely sure what the point of commenting in a different language is, but feel free to, you know, speak English if you have a question.
