It's known that there are paid shills for game corpos on /v/ and anyone who's been to /k/ or /pol/ can see how blatant the shilling for both sides of the Ukraine war are on those boards. I wouldn't be surprised if there was paid shilling on /tv/ too but I don't really browse that board.
Should it really surprise anyone that there are paid shills /here/ when this is the most active vtuber discussion space?
