Do you have any videos of any US shill farms?

I've seen the Israeli public versions. They openly work on Wikipedia (etc.) , because they had tv shows about it, and they gave out prizes (like rides in hot air balloons, and such) to the participants.

I suppose the US govt still pretends it doesn't engage in this. Although they were caught by accident because of Reddit. Elgin airbase iirc.

I've never seen footage of a western company or agency doing it, no. I assume the security is tighter in the US about this sort of thing, whereas apparently in china they're able to sneak out some footage.

Or maybe it's a matter of propaganda, maybe Chinese internet users have seen footage of western shill companies but we haven't.

Or maybe western countries just use bots because wages are higher.

Good point, the western shill farms probably have to pay $10/hr or so per employee, but I imagine the Chinese shill farms pay about $1/hr or something
