Hang on, you think this guy's being paid by the makers of Gentrol to make this comment?

They seem to be to just enjoy talking about the products they've used in the past, I don't think that makes them a paid shill. I scrolled their comments too - if someone's actually paying them to promote this stuff I don't think it's money well spent.

Also don't get it. Took a scan over the last two weeks and didn't see a single other product pushed.

Doesn't look like shill to me. Then I'm biased from previously Reddit moderating a large sub, and the shills were... egregious, obvious, and neverending.

After reading your comment, I checked their history. The account has 7k+ karma, and if they're professional marketer they are promoting:

* DALLE * Stable Diffusion * Tabletop RPGs * Sega CD * Nice suburban housing * Neuralink * Cliffnotes

etc etc. It just sounds like a normal person talking about things they like or interests.

Haha it’s a new one being accused of being a shill! It’s so obvious, I’m in the pocket of Big chem, Big Open Source AI, and Big Tabletop! Stable Diffusion and Zöecon (makers of Gentrol) are gonna send those checks any day now…
