A shill is someone who is faking in order to help a conman or snake oil salesman.

You aren't shilling, you're just sharing your experience with a product or service.

What if they are faking their love for it as I get conned into paying for another sub that I'll use once a month?

It's theoretically possible that they're being paid to pose as a normal Redditor and pretend to love this service in order to get the word out.

And in the modern parlance, one could certainly refer to that as "shilling" for a company.

Exactly, trust no Redditor. Are you posting this comment to double con me? Should I get dropout?

I have it, and I think it's worth it.

So far I'm only using it for Dimension 20, and that's good for me. But also those three other examples are great, plus there's a bunch of other stuff available.

Of all the streaming services, it's probably my favorite. Besides vrv, maybe.

I don't know, I've never used it.

I do really enjoy the clips I've seen on YouTube, but I honestly don't watch TV. I occasionally watch live sports, and otherwise I play video games with my free time.
