There are a massive amount of shills and the worst ones are easily spotted.

When you see a user get a large amount of upvoats for a thread take a look at their profile and see how many upvoats they have used.

We all know from the donald's reddit success that you upvoat everything you can especially on voat as upvoats are very precious and the more upvoats on quality posts the more eyes on a subject.

Now take this new user. A lot of upvoats in a very short time and they have literally only used one upvoat. Why is this? Most likely a shill that doesn't want to encourage content but lead us on wild goose chases.

Look at the users comments they are about two well known shills who are BANNED and were also easily spotted using the same method.

USE YOUR UPVOATS THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT, DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY THE SHILLS.
