I saw a post about how and how much shills get paid to comment and post which irritated me because of how often I fall for it. As hard as it is not to respond, remember they're getting paid for every interaction, even negative ones. The way you get them to go away is to not make it lucrative to be here. Do not engage or respond. Pretend they do not exist and they will cease to exist. I think most of them have been given shit and merchant badges and some are grayed out at this point. Don't even respond to replies by other users to shills, because the shill will get paid based on the length of comment trees as well.
