Sorry but, calling it "shilling service" instead just made it worse...
For starters, "shills" is a straight up a derogatory word which is typically used to describe people faking interest or positive feedbacks about a product/service they secretly work for. So of course, if you call it "shilling service", people will associate you with that and be needlessly alarmed.

That is true, shilling word itself seems to spread a negative impression of a service that is not intended to use bots but real humans with real discussion about a project, and spreading more awareness about them. It is better to choose the words very carefully when providing these important services to your clients.
They offer a lot of great services and these are what legit project needs, but they can ruin their business model by justifying and employing the use of shill, we have seen how shills are getting tagged, reported, and banned, so if you use shills on one of the projects you promote here you are safe because your business is legit while all the others marketers who use shills are not?
You cannot change the definition of shills, shills marketing in all definitions you find online and offline are the same, and it is manipulative marketing.
