Shill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization. Shills can carry out their operations in the areas of media, journalism, marketing, confidence games, or other business areas. A shill may also act to discredit opponents or critics of the person or organization in which they have a vested interest through character assassination or other means.


I just think it's funny because I really do hate Massdrop, they cahrge so much and spam your inbox but then if you go to look at their email they sent you they force you to sign in.

No, I'm jokingly calling you a shill because LTT promotes Massdrop.

We should have "shill" added as a rep option.

The board already retails for $100. $15 off isn't anything to jump over. Now $65 wouldn't be too bad.

i always thought red LEDs were better due to red light traveling the fruthest with the least amount of power required and from my understanding are less likely to burn out or die also red is my favorite colour too =]
