Wow, from the Stratechery article, I can't believe the Vassallo guy's take on this. He actually seems to believe that the government should prevent reviewers like Brownlee from reviewing things becuase they might affect business outcomes for certain companies. Leaving aside the fact that this is anti-free-market and arguably fascist in the technical sense, the whole point is for people like Brownlee to affect business outcomes.Something very similar to this whole Tekton drama is happening with the most famous reviewer of them all - Marques Brownlee.
He just reviewed the Humane AI Pin - they're not happy...
But the review has more than 4 million views now. I think there's some kind of momentum now in how reviewing is being regarded.MKBHDs For Everything
Marques Brownlee has tremendous power because he can go direct to consumers; that is possible in media, and AI will make it possible everywhere.stratechery.com
MKBHD's view on the subject:
I guess he thinks consumers should just be forced to buy defective products? WTF? It's hard for someone to be wrong in so many ways in so few words.
People are only restrained from speaking in ways that affect the share price when they work for the firm in question. Good lord... this is why I only post here and not on twitter. My blood pressure would hit 4 digits.
