Cut Gruber some slack. He needs to stay in Apple's graces.
- bsaul 9y agoThat’s where we are now. We integrated sponsored content so much, that we don’t even get angry when some bloggers, writing under his own personal name, seems to have been paid to write a piece of ad, in what is supposed to be a personnal opinion. This whole culture needs to go down the sh_tter. We tolerate youtubers lying about things they like, bloggers lying about their own opinions, companies hidding abusive conditions in their terms of usage, reselling private data, and we consider it all fine because it’s made for the purpose of gaining money. Man, capitalism isn’t about moral, but even capitalistic societies need some kind of ethic...
- bitmapbrother 9y agoThis isn't about being paid. Gruber has too much integrity to do such a thing and a serious journalist would never risk their reputation. What Gruber isn't above is heavily criticizing Apple for fear of getting blacklisted because, for a pro Apple blogger, that would be a death sentence.
- bsaul 9y agoThe crux of the matter is : does he say what he thinks is the truth, or not. And if not, is it for any reason other than money ?
- Paradise_Pete 9y agoI am pretty certain that Gruber says what he thinks. Some of it may be biased thinking, but I believe it's genuine.
