The sad fact is that much of what you write here pHaestus can be applied in other industry.

Sex sells, that has been known to be true for a long time now.

How about steroids in horse racing, dog racing, body building, NFL, world cup........................ Win by any means isn't new. When abuse of animals and even people (done by the individual themselves & encouraged by coaches) is as widespread as it is, why is a doctored benching score a surprise???????

The one thing I do find VERY strange is how those sites like [H] & THG continue to thrive. Once exposed for what they are, they should have been shuned by all. If reaction by the gaming buyers would have been strong & continued forcing economic impact to adjust the behavior the industry would be self correcting. Instead many sites post up pictures of the "booth babes" on their sites, good for site traffic and numbers of hits. Or remember how at times unregistered would joke to Joe here abuot having a babe of the day page to increase hits. While Bill was joking some sites do stoop to this. Why would you trust anything they say??????????

Without peer pressure all the other things you decry will continue. Worse, it will increase until the limit of the peer group is found. Look at other sites you go to, do they have pics of booth babes, girlie pages??? This is a serious site for tech info??? No, it's a cash cow for those behind it. So why wouldn't Kyle write a article for Nvidia defending the "benching bug"? From his perspective it's smart, he knows his readership doesn't care enough to abandon [H], just because the site is increasingly corrupt. And he will enjoy the fiscal rewards that I'm sure Nvidia will be sending him. And if someone were to object at [H] to his behavior? He'll ban them of course, then lie as to the reason for doing so. AND IT'S TOLERATED BY HIS READERSHIP!!!!!!!! Mass bannings, used as censorship, should have closed that site long ago. No wonder those readers tolerate everything else. They have no moral compass themselves, or they would not continue to be a part of that site.

pHaestus,

A good well thought out post. Everyone at this site however who still posts at [H] or other sites, known to be corrupt cash cows, should be asking themselves why they are helping keep them up and running.
