- amelius 8y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem > Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.
- HappyFapMachine 8y agoNot applicable as a fallacy here, questioning the style and the motive is reasonable with tech blog post mixed with advertising. I might have added "for me" at the very end, so it would not sound general and was only describing my personal vibe. If this was a very interesting article about the importance of hydration and was full of references to coca cola products, I would feel the same.
