Does that apply to individuals alone or should corporations need to be held accountable as well, especially when they abuse their market position?No. You cannot do your WORK horribly and think there will be no consequences.
You do bad things you get punished. Simple as that. I am with @OneMoar

I like some of Ford's content too,but come on,they ran this BS smearing campaign on youtubers together with hilariously little prior validationWhy would you put Ford on ignore? He gave factual information to bta that should be known. He didnt cause this nor did he cause the resulting mess. Ford is one of the few members on this site that does ACTUAL deep research on a multitude of topics and then provides it in posts. And he isn’t even paid for it.
He is a strong and great contributor who has also provided the community free and valuable software more than several times. To put someone like him on ignore is equal to turning your back on all the good there is in this community.

There was no conspiracy or gossip channel. You had one member who notifed a news editor of a lead he might want to follow up on, via PM. It was way more responsible that posting his snippets of information on his own as "fact" and then going to bed, which is what he did. It didn't single GN out, or have you not been paying attention? It was about the general state of the product placement situation on youtubers channels. Bta received a tip, JUST THE SAME AS ANY REPORTER would. How else to news people in any corner of the planet find out about stuff? The "scoop" or "cub" reporter running around on the streets finding out every thing that could be news and then publishing it is a fiction of history.I get lots of hate here from some users and staff for pointing certain things out,yet I'd never stoop to the level of sending a chief editor some unverified,claickbait wccf level crap in PMs and insist they publish it.I suggest they both stick to the facts on TPU or open their own gossip channel if they wanna run stories like that.

a story,however compelling to people,is worth jack if it's unverified.There was no conspiracy or gossip channel.

News organizations get tips, which can become news stories. That is how it has always worked. They are expected to verify claims and sources and double check the info and go verify it with more info first. Bta just handled it badly by not following through with alot more research of his own, and just threw up GN site as a very poorly thought out representation of youtube sites.
Bottom line, @FordGT90Concept did nothing wrong.

For the hell of it I went to look at the reddit thread...with the OP now deleted
What amazes me is the amoun of people who blindly believed it without any corroborating evidence. Is this the state of the world we live in?

GN has 700.000 subscribersIf I didn't know better I'd say we're being attacked from some outside forum or link.
All these new accounts jumping out of nowhere to demand BTR's resignation is... amusing. Sure he messed up and he should've pulled the article earlier IMO. But pulling it now would look like he was hiding something. He's handling it as best he can, and frankly, he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. These guys just came to flame him for something that is now way outside his control. That's about all they were ever going to do anyways, it's not like they ever had a serious passion for this site by virtue of the obviously new accounts.
I'm so glad I left this profession, frankly. BTA, you have my sympathy. There is no mercy.
He's handling it as best he can, and frankly, he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

That's...very easy to argue.
Maybe not delete the post but at the very least add a proper apology and retraction at the very least, there's none of that on the news post at all. No semblance of humility, especially considering the writers initial responses to this thread were quite combative.
...you guys are being rather merciless.

Hey don't lump everybody togetherI pride myself on logic and level headedness!
But there's also that this writer has previous form with things like this, it isn't a one time event...if it keeps happening with one write people will notice and comment more.
What in particular has he done in the past that was so awful, if I may ask?
Greedy motherboard vendors such as MSI want you to buy a new motherboard every two generations of processor for no sound reason at all.
Unfortunately, motherboard companies such as MSI care more about their bottom-lines than the consumer.
with a link to an article clarifying it and not making it obvious in the original article that it was incorrecting or correcting the use of tabloid level language.MSI posted a clarification on this issue.

Didn't you already replied those?? And as for proof see GN video again.These are the kind of lies that are being spread here to tarnish someone who puts his own time, money and effort into tech journalism. When I confronted this user and asked to provide proof as to where Steve made the mistake of "compairing" Junction temperature against Edge Temperature, I wasn't given a link or an ounce of proof whatsoever. Because for a fact, I know that he didn't do such a thing therefore the accusation can not be proven.
Not only that, but there are plenty of members here who don't have an ounce of respect for TechTubers or they're simply oblivious to them and their integrity for the work they do and seem to have this blind faith on written press and has this firm belief that TechTubers aren't knowledgeable and are simply paid shills.
Whether you love AMD, intel or nvidia, you shouldn't go out of your way to conjure up lies just to defend the brand or manufacturer you cherish. Having a preference is fine, but when you allow that preference to masquerade the truth to the point it could potentially mislead others, that's when you're wrong.
At the end of the day, competition benefits the consumers and I urge everyone to stop this brand/manufacturer hating.

You seem to have signed up this year, I dont understand why you are so mad at him.
Do you work for GN or MSI? I dont understand why people are offended on behalf of corporations.
