I hear conspiracy theorizing-types talk about how many shills there are online leaving comments and it just got me curious if there's any rational/evidence-based reason for thinking that this is really a thing? What makes people so confident they are dealing with "shills" and not just people who disagree with them? These views are fringe and controversial after all so I don't see why it couldn't just be normal and expected pushback...

no i do not know who this is
Ironically it’s a guy on this site who doesn’t blindly agree with everything posted here and is thus called a shill. While this confirms your notion that “anyone who disagrees must be a shill” definitely does happen, I do think 100% that at least on larger sites like Reddit, paid shills absolutely are everywhere.
