A shill is a shill, whether corporate or not. But this sentence
can also be applied to trolls, which may not be good news for a
certain familiar poster if most readers heed this advice.

Why? Posters aren't taking people's money, like Canon. Oooppsss!!!

Oops is right. Unlike shills, trolls aren't in it for money or
other bennies. Sometimes they do it because their mental health is
a bit lacking, and they crave an abnormal amount of attention.
