A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with said person or organization, or have been paid to do so.
If someone starts off saying “this is a sponsores stream” then yes, that is correct. It’s illegal to not disclose when media is an advertisement in most of the world. I’m pretty sure it’s against the TOS of most streaming sites, too.

Yes, someone who promotes a product while hiding the fact that they’ve been paid to promote the product. Streamers generally say “this is a sponsored stream” to avoid lawsuits.
Plenty do, yeah. Though to the marketing team, all streamers are influencers
Sponsoring streams isn’t even close to the same thing as hiring shills

Deceptively started. Women seeing more colors than men is proven, not that it’s because they gathered food.
Yeah, but just the original renditions of said characters
They’ll become public domain in the same way as Mickey Mouse

As a big fan of your posts, I have 2 1/2 questions
1: Do you do commissions?
2: Am I remembering correctly that you’re in the EU?
2.5: If so, would you be willing to uhhh like sell me the a digital file of one of your existing pieces so I can order it on a Displate or something? I’m moving my home office and want some cool art not tied to corporate IP
I don’t want kids of my own but being an uncle definitely rocks
Shill has primarily been used as an insult for the past 50 years in the way I’m defining it here. I don’t believe you’ve never heard it used to mean that.
Literally on that same page.
