Ah yes, those incredibly fair and balanced mods in worldnews@lemmy.ml, who remove my small joke comment but let the tankies brigade the comment section with propaganda. Yeah, they're doing a great job.

Yes, I did in fact need that coffee, and now I totally get it. Appreciate your patience.

~~But your example of not Onion-y enough was published by the Onion themselves. Articles from The Onion are now not Onion-y material?~~

I'm confused and want more coffee.

My money is that OP is from Russia. That government wants as much division and dessent as they can get, and they have a professional cyber ops organization.

If he's just making videos for entertainment, then stop putting up false benchmarks and bad data. People are using his videos to make expensive buying decisions, and I don't see any disclaimers on said videos saying "this is just for entertainment purposes".

It's a business completely built on reputation for impartiality and thruthfullness. The second they take money to tilt their findings and it's discovered, their whole business it dead.

Having worked at a company that had to hire a similar firm, I can tell you they had a huge contract up front that stipulates that they will find everything, they will be impartial, and if you, as their customer try and obfuscate or hinder their findings, they'll terminate the contract, and report any actions they're legally required to report.

Yeah, same for me. Linus' response was so stereotypicaly defensive, dismissive and shitty, I lost all trust. Couple that with GN's fact checking of LMGs sloppyness, and I was done ever watching their channel.

These firms build their business on a reputation for thorough, truthful investigation, and they put a contract in place that says that when they're engaged by a company. It would destroy their own business if they took money to tilt their findings.

Say that again but to a UAW union boss.

Arrowhead and/or Sony also messed up by not having the country restrictions setup on the Steam store. Arrowhead knew they were going to be reliant on PSN to handle support tickets well ahead of launch.
