    As for the word "shill", I found the following usage in the Urban Dictionary hilarious: "A word used by conspiracy theorists when they are losing an argument. The word originally referred to an accomplice of a travelling salesman selling quack remedies or similar items of dubious value. The conspiracy theorist calls their opponent a "shill" in an attempt to discredit them by implying that they are paid agents working for the government, the Bilderbergers, reptilian overlords, the Rotshschilds etc, because of course only such people could possibly disagree with them." [source: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shill]
    Dang you really had to go far down to cherry pick that definition didn't you?

    First description:

    "A person engaged in covert advertising. The shill attempts to spread buzz by personally endorsing the product in public forums with the pretense of sincerity, when in fact he is being paid for his services."

    Yup. And you had to ignore what I've highlighted in boldface in order to make the word somehow "fit" posters on the forums.
