The Shill Wall
Companies that tried to abuse the r/legaltech community for their own gains. Astroturfing, shill posts, sock puppet accounts, and spam earn you a permanent place here.
The r/legaltech community is built on trust. When vendors try to game the system — creating fake accounts to promote themselves, posting disguised advertisements, or manipulating discussions — they undermine everyone. These companies have been permanently excluded from the wiki, the vendor directory, and any community resources. Their domains are blocked and their content is removed on sight.

Post framed as organic question about PI case intake while name-dropping proplaintiff. User also claims to be a nurse and to have had a family slip-and-fall in Atlanta, suggesting possible connection to the PI vendor.
