Hard to tell who is shill and who is not on this forum, and on reddit.
Actually it isn't. It depends on how much interaction you've had and how much reading you've done in these threads. Users that fail to listen to reason, that try spreading false information and FUD against Core constantly (even though they've been corrected several times) are really obvious (as an example).
Whoever runs this shill campaign has planned it very well, because they are promoting it on every front.
It is best to stay away from places such as r/btc. You would only waste your time there.
Isn't bitcoin build cutting edge technology where we can vote to force a consensus?
You can't technically force anything; that's the point of Bitcoin (you've confused it with something). Bitcoin requires consensus.
