What percentage of users here are corporate shills?
You must realize, they have access to all the info they need via your phone, and don't need shills. That said, there are a likely number of members here that are "company" people, and more who read these forums.
There are at least two allegedly female shills and some others that have come and gone. There are some others that are less obvious and don’t post very often.

Unless some common search term leads many non-uberpeople to a thread here, I doubt there's any intervention from corporate.
Imagine if the Google search term was "uber pay" and the top result was a UberPeople thread calling out Uber for the shit pay. You bet it would be astroturfed.
Going off on a tangent, it would be quite an interesting experiment if UP management were to pull the site's logs, and cross-reference users and their source IP addresses. That can point out the so-called sock puppets!
Tracking the source/ownership of those IP addresses might shed some light in their shillness.

Probably about 2-5%. A lot of it is just people who align themselves with the GOP free market anti-"Socialism" philosophy. They tend to repeat that the gig is "low skill" and that "you don't deserve a living wage doing this" and if you don't like it "get a real job", etc. or some variation of this.
True story!! IP spoofing is a thing but that's okay because many sock puppets are obvious. I can't even guess how many hundreds of them have been banned here.
But what %age of threads & posts are by them and the New Member shills that invade UP whenever U/L hit the news?
Also which pages do they work the most? The regulars like Uber Karen and MDP are busiest on the Advice page or any page they haven't been chased off. The "New" IDs are disposable and mostly die off quickly, like irritating gnats.
To believe otherwise, you'd have to believe that Uber cares what drivers think. I've only been driving a couple of years, but I haven't seen any indication of Uber caring yet.
I'd be surprised if they even had an intern assigned to read UP once a month or so.
