Meanwhile the real shills are concern-trolling in innocent looking threads, asking the curator to stop focusing solely on Sweet Baby, dropping their name from the curator name and start focusing on all 'consultation' studios.

Yeah most likely.

Sharing a fitting story from Germany: there's a twitter account called "ÖRR blog" (öffentlich rechtlicher rundfunk - free public radio our "independent" media that we have to pay totally not taxes for).
It basically focused on interviews of those media and their "totally random" interview partners. They basically google the name that is showed and say "Hey, this totally random person is a politician for party X". Or "She works for a company that works for party Y". Most often the government / leftist parties are mentioned.

Then another twitter account showed up "örr-blog-blog" and said "Hey, there were farmer protests and you didn't mention that the same happened with CDU/CSU politicians". Answer "we didn't get submissions, but we can work together if you want that". Of course no answer.
Another comment: "Strange that we got targeted for the lack of reporting on a certain topic, and not the media who didn't do proper reporting in the first place."

The current shill tactic is "If you notice X, then you also need to make sure you notice Y and Z as well! Or you're evil!". But they will never offer help.
