        In conspiracy terms: A Shill is a person who is pretending to agree with a conspiracy and intentionally circulates false information or acts totally insane in an effort to discredit said conspiracy. Shills are often thought to be hired by the government but dont necessarily have to be.

          A word used by conspiracy theorists when they are losing an argument. The word originally referred to an accomplice of a travelling salesman selling quack remedies or similar items of dubious value. The conspiracy theorist calls their opponent a shill in an attempt to discredit them by implying that they are paid agents working for the government, the Bilderbergers, reptilian Overlords, the Rotshschilds etc, because of course only such people could possibly disagree with them.

                        A [shill] is a person who publicly attempts to constitute, increase or sustain credibility and/or approval of/to an entity without disclosing that they have a relationship with [the entity], understating the type, importance or closeness of said relationship or concealing the actual role in which they perform for said entity.
                        The goal of the the shill is a (expected) personal benefit, may it be profit (participation), wage, payment by result or enabling, increasing or sustaining the chance of success for a specific socio-economic or socio-political project.
                        [The entity] can be either a person or an organized or [disorganized] group. Organized groups have some level of structure and decision-making ability while disorganized groups dont.
                        Organized groups can be the government, [politicial] parties, profit-oriented companies, investment or interest groups (hedgefonds, [freemasons]) or non-profit non-government organizations like non-profit companies, charities, churches or cults. [Disorganized] groups can be religions or unreligious cosmovisions (atheism, [humanism]), permanent political ideologies (f.e. communism, capitalism) or temporary political interest groups (f.e. pro-life-movement for abolishing the right to have an abortion).
                        The difference between [shilling] and expression of opinion is that the benefit is received from an external rather than an (emotional or intellectual) internal source or that the external force dominates the internal motivation.
