It's always sparkling capitalism if you're an Atheist.
Shareholders thank you for buying many of their junk with precalculated breaking points though!

Would you care to explain how I'm using it wrong then?
A shill is a member of a company or organization, or someone who is paid by a company or organization, to covertly advertise on their behalf while keeping their association and motivation a secret.
There is no such thing as a "privacy shill", you actually mean to say a "privacy promoter" or "privacy advocate", because those on lemmy that post about privacy are open and honest about their motivation.
Not everyone who is a promoter or supportive of something is a shill.
Ahh i see. This is another good learning moment for you. Have you heard of the term colloquialism before? Essentially, a colloquialism is used in or characteristic of familiar and informal conversation.
People typically use the term "shill" non-literally or sarcastically in casual conversation to criticize someone who passionately supports a cause, even if there’s no secret agenda. A good example is the way people use the word "literally" today. The word "literally" means 'word for word' or 'not figuratively'. However, most people use it today to intensify or dramatize their statements e.g I was so hungry, I literally had to eat the whole fridge. You can see that "literally" is used figuratively here
So that was my intention when using the word "shill". Call it hyperbolic or rhetorical if you will.
Lol you tried
