Shills exist. It's a real thing.
They aren't paid. There is no possible financial gain from posting on /prog/.
But there are ideological shills that are working hard to win every-possible mind to their side.
Guess who does that?
Did you guess "the side that is over-represented on the internet and wins twelve allies every time they get a stack overflow upvote," the way that pajeets do?
You guessed wrong.
The only shills on /prog/ are the ones wringing every stone until they find one that gives a drop of blood.
/prog/ is being manipulated by C programmers and Unix hackers, because the anonymous format provides a unique opportunity for their ideas to be presented without cross-examination. Because their ideas can't withstand cross-examination.
You ever seen those posts on /prog/ about Lisp being useless in the real world? Did you know that those claims got debunked, twenty years ago? They were flat-out proved wrong, when most of you were in diapers. But you saw a statistic.
Shills are here. They won. You believe them.
