This is the largest class action case in Canadian history with massive social, political, and legal consequences. Any multi billion dollar, national, class action case requires thousands and thousands of hours worth of work Teams of lawyers and paralegals reading and writing for 40+ hours a week for usually a couple of years. Giant firms will subcontract out to other giant firms just to help them get through all the paperwork in big class actions like this.
You not knowing this doesn't make it untrue, it just makes you wrong and mean. Don't guess how industries work if you have no experience in them. They are always more complex than you can sus out with your own musings.
Knowing how lawsuits work is shilling? Are you a troll or just genuinely simple?
I mean, you could argue that the work was meaningless, that most of these lawyers are working bullshit jobs. But the fact of the matter is that a lot of them did put a lot of time into it, the companies paid them for the time, and now the companies want that money.
Shilling for who?
