Are you okay? You just insult random people on the internet? I'm glad you invoke the term "shill," which, well it's not what I did here, is accurate to what I see influencers do: "an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others."

I don’t think they were talking about you? But saying call them shills instead of influencers.

You have have missed the comma in the sentence. In future I will use quotation marks for the term I am suggesting

It's the comma that's the problem. as in "Out of my way, jerk!" I see what you mean, but can see how it was interpreted. Communicating with text only can lead to confusion and conflict.

The comma, is perfectly correct. Your example is modified by the exclamation mark. This may be a difference between UK usage and US usage. I see from the example how it could be misinterpreted, and if has caused unintentional offence, I apologise. The fact remains the same; Influencers are "shills".

Ah, they do things different in the UK I've noticed.

I think you are angry not at what he's saying, but the incorrect punctuation. He wants "shill" to be used for Charlie, not you. As I read it, anyway.

What is incorrect about the punctuation?
