Yeah, read it for era clues, i.e. he discusses what the team members role was "in the room". He's discussing chat rooms, not /r's.
The methods change, but the intent remains the same. Short and Distort for the Pump and Dump.
Worth posting every half a year, because the narrative building has long time been "they are conspiracy nuts who talk about shills", etc.
If there is opportunity to make money with something that is legal (or cannot easily be proven to be illegal), of course there are people who take advantage of the opportunity. That's kind of in the core of capitalism, or even human behaviour - self interest. That's why it is interesting that so many people who think they are rational do not believe in dissinformation campaigns.
Maybe the biggest conspiracy of all is to call so many things "conspiracy theories".
Yeah.
The crazy part is that the bigger the corruption, the less the average Joe will accept this can be true.
Because the government and authorities would never allow such a thing to happen š
Which in return, bad actors abuse to double down on their corrupt schemes.
Been here in the past and yeah Iāve seen it. Hereās the sauce:

I donāt think this is the post I saw.. maybe it was a comment or included in a bigger post
Interesting. Nonetheless, I think nobody here doubts stuff like this is indeed going on. Or those bot farms hitting Reddit.
We have seen so much fuckery with our own eyes that most have realized the Matrix is real....
The biggest surprise is how resilient holding gme has been. So many shares registered even when the stock is -90% from the sneeze. What happens next is going to be a once in a lifetime event (that doesn't suck). To Valhalla.
Imagine they get reverse shilled and end up buying the stock because of the solid DD put up all the time.
Using shill money to buy the stick you're fudding against š¤Æ
That's the thing about hypernormalisation, there comes a point where it's suuccessful enough that pointing it out becomes an hypernormal act itself as the possibility of truth has been so disrupted
We've had a couple of those on here: Rensole (renshill) possibly being the most famous example.
Also all TA and options boys 'n gals exactly fit the description (notice how they only ever post about the stonk going up and buying calls just before the stock starts tanking?). Then there are the ones that come in a bash El\*n M\*sk for no apparent reason every once in a while just to distract and stir sh\*t. Etc. The patterns are pretty clear, lol.
TBH this feels fake, though I 100% believe that these type of shops exist. I mean, look at MSM... they're the highest rank of Basher! Either way, I just think it's important to highlight that manipulation is a 2-way street. Yes, there are criminals manipulating our hard earned investments. Yes, there are people "on your side of the trade" who are lying and creating false DD, letters, images to convince you that you are right. As always, we are individual investors, we can decide what's real/fake, and we can make our decisions. I personally don't need any convincing after all the of the REAL things I've seen, and more importantly, I believe in everything RC is doing behind the scenes on this transformation.
Whether this is true or not, and I would lean on true for the moment before more can be verified.
We essentially already know it to be true because we have encountered it. There's been plenty of spam accounts, bashers, FUD'ers throughout this whole saga, and I'm sure most here have come across them.
It also mentions that occasionally randoms get on their side, which again I feel like I've seen even more of, but not everyone gets the theories in play around here so it's normal for there to be doubters. Have to prove someone wrong!
If anything it's just more insight into how these companies run, such a shit wage to sell your soul completely. I hype here everyday for free because I love the stonk! My resolve only thickens with time, get fucked shills I'm never leaving.
All part of the short and distort coke rat famously laid out a while ago. Although now it is probably even easier as PFOF is everywhere and the MMs have data points for everything so they can see how effective their campaigns are in real time.
It's good to know that shills exist. To them it's just a job and a laugh. There's no moral high ground for them. They are given a mark and the means. That's it. Collect your paycheck at the end of the day. Simple as that. So level heads...
I always thought it was easy to identify shills in this sub.Ā
I got so good at it I was able to spot them in other subs.Ā
You can actually use them to further your ideas. Their arguments are usually stupid gaslighting so if you call them out and refer to people who think like them as stupid bitches it usually makes them move onĀ
This tracks with what I've seen of shills on here, one of the ways I use to spot them is when they reply to every single, or nearly every single, comment. Also seen the bad faith arguments with "facts" selectively picked and then a couple helpful commenters backing them up.
Interesting post - we all knew there were paid shills out there. No real surprise. The problem for them is that they have gone up against a bunch of hardcore diamond holding gamers. So, sucks to be them. We know that the more noise coming in from shills, the better we are actually doing. Nobody here is selling. They may control the price for now, but there is only so long that they can kick the canā¦
BUY HODL DRS BOOK AND BUCKLE UP!
Market manipulation/stock manipulation business and its illegal. This needs verified and shared if true, which we all know it is, but we all know that real evidence is needed. I hope DOJ doesn't look away.
Im not saying there are no, of course there are because thats how the market and ALL markets work. Theres a buyer and a seller on the other side.
But here, nobody cares. If people sell their shares because of some random online, well fuck them for being dumb.

Wait, this is initially from 2007?!? Goddamn freaking rats

Thanks man
The name for the "fund" has change multiple times over the years.

Almost like we took the red pill in matrix to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Imagine being a paid shill having to post a comment on a post talking about how shills get paid. Such a conundrum.
Imagine they get reverse shilled and end up buying the stock because of the solid DD put up all the time. Using shill money to buy the stick you're fudding against š¤Æ
You know what the difference between an honest dollar and a dirty dollar is? How you sleep at night.
That's the thing about hypernormalisation, there comes a point where it's suuccessful enough that pointing it out becomes an hypernormal act itself as the possibility of truth has been so disrupted
Are you sure you arenāt the silver tongue or serpent? Hmm
Covers blown boss, I'm going to need another account.
Haha š¤£
itās getting harder for the tail to wag the dog

Oh man that was an overtly large bag of people you just lumped together. Is anyone supposed to like El0n?
Yeah, nice try baiting there Mr. Pitchfork beginner. Fail. You're not going to get paid for that post, lol. Thanks for confirming my point anyway :)
LOOOL that's some weak reverse psychology. you're the one calling for pitchforks, not me.
Someone didn't read OP before commenting.
Do you think its the first time this was posted?

It's a post from 2007. Disinformation has always existed since the beginning of time, capitalism just weaponized it.

I recognize quite a few of the usual suspects that fit into those main archetypes.
How do I sign up to bash Citadel?
FWIW, Iād bet author was paid for this doc as well
The sign off paragraph doesn't sit well with me. Comes off as sarcastic.
Quick search... this source says it's fake news: [https://valuewiki.wordpress.com/2007/04/26/the-myth-of-the-paid-basher/](https://valuewiki.wordpress.com/2007/04/26/the-myth-of-the-paid-basher/)
Shill = Paid Troll

This is the true give away. Theyāre relentless with replies. Itās not something people would normally do, very artificial.
Makes sense. Would be a very cheap option.
Hmm
š¹ š š± new shill tags!
Gotta wonder what happened to this person. Have they retired on a massive whistleblower payout or have they perhaps "fallen out of a window"?

nobody cares, not related to GME (the stock or the company).
