You a paid rep? No? Then you’re not shilling, you’re sharing a positive experience with $whatever. And that’s a good thing. Helps us all.
You can be a shill without payment. It is known as fanboyism, involves selling your soul and using that brand/thing to fill the void in your empty life, making it part of your persona. Plenty free of cost zealot armies exist for everything on internet.
That seems like a really big stretch to me. The essence of being a shill is dishonesty. What you’re calling fanboyism isn’t dishonesty, just questionable judgement.
Fanboyism has a very thin, blurred distinction between passionate enjoyment and shilling.
