    We’ve known certain personalities have been russian shills for a while. What’s new is that we now know they’re PAID russian shills.

    Though, if Tim pool is to be believed, they didn’t influence his content at all. That means he would suck putin’s cock for free which is worse.

      True. I guess it’s a bit heartening to have concrete and widely known proof that the huge uptick in shitty attitudes toward certain groups has not been completely organic? Some people might think a bit more critically, maybe, with luck? These people are doing a bit for likes and money, they should be way more embarrassed than they are.
