Funny fact: one of the only times online I actually caught a company shill acting as a regular person posting - essentially, ads; and whose extensive comment history only included positive remarks about a product - was a Stadia shill/plant I found on Reddit about a month ago.
Their entire history comprised of posts and comments praising Stadia, but clearly typed by a real person; with like these weird intentional grammar and spelling mistakes to make the account look like it was a real person. Either that or the Google employee behind the account needed to go back to Grade 5 or 6.
Ironically - they’d posted the article one or two months ago where Google promised continued Stadia support, and I found it on the front page of Reddit News.
I didn’t think twice about the poster of the article; until enough people started joking that - yeah - give it a month or two and Google will close it down, kinda thing…
The OP got so defensive in a very strange way to the point where their comments started to be more than questionably ‘real’.
So, I did a quick background check on the account - only to find - holy shit; it’s true, this person is literally paid by Google to post only positive things about Stadia online. Had to be - just from looking at it - but most telling, and the dead giveaway was that once myself and several other Redditors pointed out that the account was obviously just a paid shill from Google, the entire account mysteriously disappeared about an hour later. :P
Companies: if you know your product has problems and/or is shit - here’s a thought - instead of paying people to shill mostly false positive information on social media - how about you invest in actually improving your product; or marketing it in legitimate ways that don’t make you look like a total scumbag. Just my advice.
