Just about every major (100+ reply) thread for the past week on /pol/, within minutes of them hitting the frontpage there's a >(1) drive-by poster who posts something to the effect of:
>Is this a satire site?
>My god, you people are stupid
>Shut up *Pol */POL/ and other inaccurate spellings
>Facebook meme images
And I wonder; has it always been like this and is it only now I'm beginning to notice or is it due to that faggot Ethan Chiel and a few devoted shills?

Has started to become a meme in its own right. People use it to discredit the argument of anyone by implying they are not an active part of the discussion.
As for the others we may just have a surge of shills or newfriends, neither of which has made a dent in /pol/ before or now. All's well

we did have that Fusion article written about us last week by the Jewish guy. Maybe more than 9 people actually read Fusion (who knew) and it drove traffic here.

Either its real shills or fake shills for trolling, or its retards wandering in because we got some press recently. Ignore and keep redpilling.

Dan Gabriel and similar agencies are hitting both /pol/ boards on cuckchan and 8chan hard. There was a Ron Paul general in cuckchan /pol/ with one guy using a proxy talking to himself over and over. That's how far they go. They will simulate an entire conversation to sway public opinion on the notion that you won't participate and find out more about the people you, at first glance, assume to exist.

It's a carry over from the /v/ GG threads where someone would show up in the thread way past the bump limit and try to shill.

there are leftover oldfags who think "trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls" is still le ebin.
They miss some of the old /b/ magic, so they recreate it here and newfags get BTFO.

What >>4881799 said. Or at least there was a major surge in pretendedly naive and downright baitey posts, which were always targeted at derailing shit. And usually the ID starts with derailing, hence (1) became a meme.

To clarify
I don't mean people that post meaningful responses but don't bother to follow it up in the thread, I'm talking about those who use their sole post suspiciously, like in the examples in the OP, where something isn't quite right. It's only recently that it appears to have properly taken off.

I really fucking hate that
In all honesty it should just be used for single posts, not replying to anyone, that pop up late in a thread.
I want to believe that shills are trying to take that practice away, so that when they do their single, no reply bait post it goes unchecked, but it's becoming so rampant
>>4888022
It's taken off either because shills want to disempower it (as it is a way of saying "Hey, this guy just posted and left, didn't respond to anyone, and spouted an arguement we've heard before and debunked") or because there are stupid /pol/lacks who think it's an actual rebuttal.

At least regarding the second one, you'd have less of it if posters didn't push sensationalist and clickbaity titles at the cost of accurately representing what the fuck actually happened.

We are always getting raided. Under normal conditions its just by useful idiot sjw goons. But when ever things start heating up whether it be an election or a suspicious shooting or what have you we start getting raided by more professional shills. Over the past year they have been a steady problem. The GOPe threw a million dollars at mr mair and mr wilsons shill team. They are nothing more than neocon pr agents. But now we have applied memetics, a company rand by dan gariel and peter waldrons outfit..
These are absolutely pro tier counter intel ops ran by ex cia agents. and they are still garbage they amount to nothing more than an extreme annoyance.

That's the funniest thing about it.
Professional shitposters are now hired by conservative groups to come in and attempt to sway discourse and undermine us by diverting us towards inane arguments.
This is just the latest wave of annoyances, nothing more. We already have JIDF and Chan Outreach, what's a couple more idiots?
But what really makes this funny:
People who do it for free are better at their job than they are.

It's not just shills hard at work you know. I saw a post on /b/ where someone said they had been trolling /pol/ for a jolly because it's easy to ruffle feathers and you all bite so easily.

The best part about it is that unlike left wing shill who are too brain damaged to think for themselves right wing shills are quickly going to become repilled and start undermining their employers.

There are people who get paid to shill on this site, most are not very good, but some are more dedicated.
Its not gone to shit, it has grown more powerful.
And wealthy individuals have started to attempt to dilute 8chan.
This started over 6 months ago. But it hit its strongest point around 4 months ago.
Most normal users have released this, and it has only made us stronger.
Remember this fact…
The more obvious the shill, he more desperate they are…
Who would honestly visit this a website such as this that is not interested in the content if they were not paid to do so?
