I don't recall my or anyone ever trying to sell or push anything, here at PC. Until certain characters appeared, apparently pushing gold and posting articles from singular sources, repeatedly.

Yep. The conspiracy theory websites that S(h)amm linked to survive only through the number of eyeballs that come to their pages. That's how they sell their ad revenue and/or advance their agendas (pro-Putin in many of the sites S(h)amm linked to, for example). They are both irrelevant and unprofitable without eyeballs and shills like S(h)amm do their best to provide these eyeballs.
