Red shilled people are the tinfoil hats of the current generation. The original meaning (red pilled) has its origins in The Matrix (Movie, 1999). They don't listen to official sources (e.g. Media) but frequent forums that advertise consipracy theories and spread fear mongering (e.g. Alex Jones/ /pol/). Since 'red pill' refers to the ultimate truth and nothing but the truth, red shilled users easily associate with posts/articles that claim to be red pilled or are advertised this way. The irony is, that red shilled people suspect the media to be brainwashing them while in fact they are letting themselves be brainwashed by people that in a lot of cases just want to see the world burn (e.g. 4chan). The red pill meme is also often used by Alt Right groups in order to distribute false or misleading information.
