The word "Shill" is tossed around and aimed at people with no factual basis other than the accuser is ignorant of the definition of the word.
Shill means, "an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others."
So the next time You assume or libel somebody by calling them a Shill it would be adult of You to verify the following:
An accomplice to a) hawker, or b) gambler, or c) swindler; and
Who acts as an enthusiastic customer; and
For the sole purpose to entice or encourage others.
It has been My experience with social media these last 10 years that verifying the above criteria is almost impossible to prove without some intimate details.
So, in the future if You feel the urge to libel someone by calling them a "Shill" remember to check Your facts before You do a stupid act.
On reddit it has a different meaning all togetether...but thanks for the info nonetheless :)
I know one of these, luckily only online.
