Bitcoinatlk is not like Facebook or X where you could gather all your alts to support a false argument and people would think it's through.
This forum is faceless and we'll know the ethics behind a support for good conduct and the contrary. Any unreasonable support for a project that don't deserve it would be frowned at if they don't show a proof.
Some business representatives do not get this point. They treat Bitcointalk like other social media, where they keep posting good comments from different accounts. We have seen shilling before in this community, and we still often see newbie accounts writing comments on casino announcement threads. This is totally annoying, but the casinos think they are building a reputation.
In reality, they get caught pretty easily. I haven't seen shilling activity lately, but they are exist and appear in the various announcement thread from time to time. Most of the brands hire those shillers because these people reach to the brands offering their services.
Those platforms that even tried such kinds of services would eventually come to sign. campaigns anyway ( I hope so).
It's okay to try regular services, but they don't work as intended here because community sees everything as it is..
