It's common knowledge at this point that ShareBlue, some left-wing guerilla organization, shills on /pol/, usually to get reactions for publications. Before the American election, a group called CTR did the same.

Many /ck/ regulars believe the McChicken meme was a successful attempt at viral marketing by McDonalds, but I don't know how much I believe that.

I know for a fact Wendy's memes got one of their burgers in me for the first time in a few years.

Here's my guess of external actors. No source, just intuition:
- Trump
- Neoliberals
- Monster energy for /sip/ threads
- Fast food chains
- Cooking YouTube channels
- Porn websites
- something on /g/

Remember, all they need to do is think about their brand for 3 seconds. Anyone have more?

There's some cryptocurrency-based hooker site that not only advertises on /biz/, but links back to 4chan on their homepage.

What's it called?

>make some memes.

That's not how it works.
That's not how it should be.

Why do you people still believe that nonsense?

>>65622
Why is it easy to believe the Russians trolled the election enough to get Trump in the White House and hard to believe Clinton didn't do the same thing and failed?

>>65661
We have proof of one and none of the other. More to the point, anyone and everyone who wasn't rabidly pro-Trump has been demonized as a shill. I can't take accusations seriously by the boy who cried wolf.

>We have proof of one and none of the other.
You know better than to make that claim and not show the proof.

I don't really care if you believe me. I'm beyond this shit, I just wanted to know why you were still writhing in it.

So you don't have any, then.

Thanks for the reply.

>>65672
You're welcome.

Outside of political shills, how would one recognize food shills?

>>65700
You can tell. If I made a post like this:
>Hey guys, did anyone else try the new Bacon McStacker at Arby's™? It's only here for a limited time!
and then added some picture of a Pepe eating french fries, it would be just enough to set your BS detector off.

>>65612
>common knowledge
There it is, the phrase that obviates any need for actually providing evidence of anything.

For me, it's the McChicken.

It's well known that many indie game developers shill their games on /v/.

it's real of course. But 4chan is not a fruitful market, so the targeting here is generally recruitment or opinion change.

For example, drug threads are also obsessively shilled. I believe it is a deliberate effort by activists who organize on IRC & the like. The MRA's also actively shill as do the stormfags. Many of the techniques are elaborate- often they try to condition hate for the other by pretending to represent them, or laying the intellectual ground for future posts.

Anyways, real shilling happens on leddit. Upvotes are incredibly easy tools to manipulate and abuse. 4chan has too much disunity and a infringer market share to easily brigade. If you shill here you are probably wasting time and money

>>66133
You're right that shills are going to be more on Reddit due to a larger, wider audience that will spend money on useless shit.

Can you give examples of the drug threads being shilled? I'm not familiar with them.

>>65610
I don't care because I never buy anything

>hey guys, what do you think of weed?

at least once a day, same pic, same flag. Literally the same everything

On what board?
