Just because someone disagrees with you while bringing up a pretty compelling point, they are definitely a shill.

Also, I believe your comment is in violation of the guidelines: "Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken." and "Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."[0]

For you then, I believe the above comment to be not only uncompelling but also disingenuous

I mean, I personally agree with said comment. Would love to hear your perspective beyond "this comment is wrong".

This isn't a matter of right or wrong. Moreover that's not what I've expressed. The comment hasn't garnered any attention from anyone discussing this topic seriously and I should follow suit BR

You don't believe it's not at a possibility that politicians dislike losing control over their message?

I believe ginormous agglomerates of money and power backed by predatory (and probably with criminal intent) capital investors, with no other ethics than make money in any possible way are the root of all evil, politicians are just elected representatives of the people and live only a few decades.
