Why would a legitimate project need to hire a thread shilling/bumping service?

These users/bots have been reported multiple times for plagiarism and duplicate posting on several threads: amanai, kk777, Klacik, bitokman, CoinNextE, Tiny_Prism, Green Lantern, guarino, slovenia1, 12coins, peetah, boomertoo. Any project where these users have been posting should be considered suspect.
 

Hey! I don't know about any service.  Wink But if you think our project is suspicious, just check out the smart contract and match it with our whitepaper!  Everything is fair and transparent!

All of the aforementioned 12 users were found to be posting the same conversations (mixing up who said what) in 6 different threads (including this one) and if you go back farther into their post histories you'll find another set of threads in which they did the same - the earlier shilling contracts, most likely. Hiring people (or bots) to post in a thread to make it look more active than it really is is called shilling, after the similar practice of using fake bids on an auction to artificially inflate the sale price.

Maybe you didn't personally hire these shills, but there isn't much argument that shilling didn't occur.
