Gamers Nexus Calls Out Tom’s Hardware for Their “Just Buy It” RTX 2080 Article

Not only is it shilling, but it's also horrendous journalism & writing. Most of those sentences are grammatically incorrect and/or make no sense. How can someone with such horrendous English skills make a living writing.

Tom's Hardware has changed in the Avram Piltch era. In recent months, some veteran staff have jumped ship and many others are desperately looking for a life raft before the full implementation of Tom's Hardware 2.0, a Google SEO driven site. These sites, like Tom's Guide, don't break new stories but rather identify trending topics and then quickly build content to match. Purch has an internal team scrubbing the internet each day that assigns stories to different teams inside the company.

The Tom's Hardware 2.0 formula has not sat well with veteran journalists and editors that continued the twenty-two year legacy of Tom Pabst. The first forward-facing look at the current internal struggles come from Igor Wallossek, editor-in chief of Tomshardware.de, a licensed spin-off of Tom's Hardware Germany. Igor, a 10-year veteran of Tom's Hardware, writes in his German response to the most recent controversy: "With this attitude, the interim editor-in-chief also contradicts my very personal work, since I am directly involved in the launch article. Who is to believe the hard-won results after so much advertising balsam? And hello? testing complex components requires more basic knowledge and expertise than the superficial clowning of notebooks and colorful Lego heaps.." - Translated.

Both comments were scrubbed by forum moderators. Later in the day we had our second look at infighting at the media company. An ethical but disgruntled moderator enabled the posts again for public viewing before issuing a public statement and later resigning his position.​

Dude, surfing the internet on unknown websites without adblocker is like going from girl to girl without condom. You'll bound to catch something eventually. Use an adblock just like you would use a rubber, and whitelist sites you deem trustworthy.

It's an opinion piece, we are all allowed our own opinions are we not?

Note: As with all of our op-eds, the opinions expressed here belong to the writer alone and not Tom's Hardware as a team. This article is a counterpoint to Derek Forrest's equally-worthy "Why You Shouldn’t Buy Nvidia’s RTX 20-Series Graphics Cards (Yet)." We encourage readers to check out both articles, form their own opinions and share feedback in the comments section below.

I can't say if this "note" was in place when the original article was posted.
 
Wth happened to that site? It was reliable and reputable back then. Haven’t been to that site in years.

It's an opinion piece from a dangerously unqualified shmuck with an English degree. He should only be giving advice at spelling bees.

Bingo and there is infighting at Tom's as well. The shit show might get worse befroe it gets better. Claiming it as just an "opinion piece" is doing the knowledgeable tech world an injustice. It's not the onion or reddit.

I discount the advice of anyone who tells me not to read independent unbiased reviews and just buy something they say is good.
