Vast Stick shills dogpile into r/shittykickstarters to promote their product. Sub retaliates.

38  2017-06-29 by jcpb

Two months ago u/Shields42 created this thread after a dust-up with the "people" of Vast Stick. This week, those "people" hit the sub with alt accounts, breaking sitewide rules to discredit the thread OP and claim how their "product" will make them bigger than a certain storage manufacturer in five years. At least 12 shill accounts have been created, all less than one week old.

They fucked with the wrong subreddit, for this is the one sub whose top post, picked up by bestof ultimately started the demise of the "portable underwater breathing device" otherwise known as Triton, and set off the wheels of motion that forced Indiegogo to kill the scam project. So when these Vast Stick shills crashed the party, this sub was naturally unamused.

Shields42 proceeded to out them all, with other posters digging out the dirt on the folks supposedly running this Vast Stick project. Unsurprisingly, the Vast Stick shills attacked this thread too!

I feel really bad for /u/vastcorp. He has single-handedly come up with a breakthrough concept that can revolutionize the storage industry, but is being attacked by trolls from Sandisk, Western Digital and Kingston. I have proof that /u/Shields42 is being paid by Sandisk to slander the good name of Vast and stop this revolutionary device from coming into fruition. This is an unfortunate curse that great minds like me and James have to endure, with the establishment being threatened by visionaries like us who can topple the status quo. Samsung tried to pay off our Vice President of Social Media /u/jinglesbobingles, but she had more integrity than /u/Shields42.

If you donate to a crowd funding project you deserve to lose your money. It's like pre-ordering a game with a chance of you not even getting the game.

i've seen reddit try their hand at 'investigation' and it almost always ends up just tards being tards and getting everything wrong. Probably the case here but it looks like a snoozefest anyway so fuck off OP.

then again 'Down the rabbit hole we go!' always speaks to legitimate genius at work so they are probably on the verge of a pizzagate breakthrough in there.

Why is it that 4chan seems to be better at "investigations"? Higher percentage of autists? Maybe something to do with every reply being equally weighted?

My guess is the same reason linux people still use usenets. Non intuitive user interfaces usually filter out all the half-assers on first visit.

I remember using tin on a shell account back in the 90s, it was not hard. Dialing in was the real challenge.

n/a  Elite_AI 2017-06-29

4chan's intuitive as fuck though.

It's the fact that you can't upvote comments so that they stick around, snowballing into something which is getting more attention than it deserves. Every comment has a much shorter lifespan, forcing new comments to be produced and take their place.

Apparently there exists someone called Shelly Cerelli. I'm buying it, why not.

n/a  Shields42 2017-06-29

Did you read the comments in the second post? Their office address in Syracuse is actually a pediatric clinic. And both James T Cerelli and a supposed Carmelo Cerelli were involved in a major bitcoin scandal. We have all of the evidence. /u/Tatermen did all of the investigating.

It does look juicy. Nicely done. The name is still goofy though.

That last quote by /u/jeff_batio, it is a troll btw.

n/a  jcpb 2017-06-29

Of course. I quoted him for the extra butter.

This is the best freakout I've seen in a while:

Yep you got issue. Get a brain when stuff is in development you dont release proprietary data. The facebook thing they had ...I watched most all the negative was from burger flippers...some were good questions.

The countless stupidity I quit watching. But vast was brilliant. They got free FAQ With no study group or money spent.

Frugal and smart. I enjoy this. Reminds me of some kids before they were very wealthy very famous.

Ive been sitting here in starbucks actually just engaged in some tech people from Provo with Skype. They know who I am. They looked this up and it was fun to laugh at yhe monkeys hete making noise attacking Vast.

Wow.... 🙊🙉🙈🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙉🙈😉

The real numbers and results are off the charts...

The Professor

And again:

Almost ready to go for a walk from starbucks. First a true tech person would never engage in this level of stupity.

2nd I laugh you came from the land of facebook. What a waste of time shit for brains deal.

I laugh at these young people. I track algorithmic activity. Because I had allready made contact with vast. They sent me link to a group. Kind of gay....I thought... So my facebook with my whopping 211 friends actual friends from growing up..nasa ...hotrods...sailing.

I looked at group. I saw it as a complete waste of time and sent email to ceo and said. This will attract monkeys... Feces for brains. Some no matter what you say. They will know more than you or me

Waste of time. Well like many things I prophesy come to pass. Here you and others are.

You make claims un true. I have written fact. But funny Wikipedia describes you spot on.

Troll internet troll. Monkey feces..

Strange people that actuallu get arousal out of doing things like this. Sick rabid dogs...yes same minds as child mollestors. Very sad.

I have shared the facts. The truth you quickly respond. I am retired I can do what I want when I want.

My car is in the parking lot blue beautiful 1970 ss 427 Chevelle.

Im real I walk in truth...I chuckle at your twisted deception.

See millions of you monkeys do not understand the written word.

So even though I write truth no matter what you attack and other monkeys agree.

Heads up Lions.. We function differnt. You woukd be wise to google my personal friend Christopher Walken and watch what he has to say about Lions...

Your monkey brain will continue to make diluted false statements. Thats why your a monkey.

Im getting up now as the 2 black pike place roast and bacon gouda sandwhich are passing through me. I offically am going to name this turd... Redit monkey feces in your honor and flush you down the toilet.

In fact hold on....... Ah im here door locked... Sitting down....

Good thing I eat cream of wheat... Ahhh you did not hurt too bad. You commie socialist burger flipper ....there you are...

Stand still....YES

I HAVE A VERY NICE PICTURE of you.

Ok...Im setting you free. Here ya go Swoosh.... Amazing turbunation

I should of made a video of this for YouTube.

Your free... You are loose unto the world.

I am not a vast employee you moron. If you want to know who I am ask Woz and many others you Ruskie.

You are no longer confined you are free. Get a life.

Sad you had to show world who you are. 🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈😉

The Professor🐆aka The Lion 😍

That ladies and gentleman is what to do to a troll who distorts truth lies and wants to make havoc. But really it has no significance...I am not even the company.

I told truth as I knew it and this monkey makes noise...very simple...monkey swatted by Lion countlesz get a chuckle...

Old school justice geek nasa style.

Time for a walk now that feces is out of me. Bye ...🙊🙉🙈🐆😍👼👹

Sometimes you get dramatically outclassed so much there's nothing else to write.
