"Shillfluencer" is a term that combines "influencer" and "shill." It is used to describe an influencer that participates in "access journalism" and "influencer marketing". It is typically applied to internet influencers who dishonestly provide a review or opinion on a product without disclosing that they have been paid or biased in the seller's favor. Companies use shillfluencers to astroturf positive feedback for their products without the need for traditional advertising. The following are some telltale symptoms of a shillfluencer.
- Not stating that they have a relationship with members of the product's company.
- Not identifying themselves an employees of the company.
- Giving an excessive amount of favorable praise while offering no or little criticism.
- Not disclosing their sponsorship.
- Receiving free early access to the product or exclusive access.
- Assigned a pre-approved script to be conveyed.
- Avoiding any controversial topics that could jeopardize access to the company.

Slopaganda is quickly produced, weak propaganda. Slopaganda typically contradicts itself and makes a pathetic effort to hide the fact that it is just sloppy propaganda.
Recently, propaganda from country A has been released with the intention of deceiving country B. However, this "propaganda" was poorly produced and badly translated into country B's native language. Country A's attempt at slopaganda has not succeeded.
"Slopware," similar to shovelware, is a combination of the words "slop" and "software." Slopware is software of poor quality, such as a video game. That is intended and created for the general consumer audience, who will buy and glorify it without a second thought.
Guy 1: Yo bro, did you see the trailer for this new triple A game?
Guy 2: Nope, all new triple A games are your standard slopware.
