AT shouldn't get worse treatment than any other review site. If all the others can post detailed benchmarks or cover an event and only AT has consistent issues and bad luck at some point a pattern emerges. I get that I can also be biased. But bias should be like noise, taking all of the articles together should average it out. In AT's case it's more like the signal rather than the noise. What really capped it off for me was not covering a public event that every other website covered, like the 2017 Threadripper launch. The signal was that they are even willing to ignore one of the most interesting launches in years to post articles about trivial motherboard announcements. I would never mind if Intel launched some awesome new CPU. Then the confirmation came the following year, coincidentally also during a Threadripper event when they wrote multiple articles touting Intel's new 5GHz 28 core CPU. They missed the fact that it was a massive overclock chilled by an (admittedly hidden) 1HP chiller and their experience raised no red flags where even the comments did. But worse, when the bubble burst unlike every other publication AT's response was an anemic piece excusing Intel and with the literal conclusion that "the 28-core announcement was not ideally communicated". I understand Intel's shenanigans to try to steal some of the attention that TR is getting. But as a journalist being played like that should trigger a more visible reaction. Consistently painting them in a good light just raises suspicions for me. And while I still read their articles I no longer take them or the conclusion at face value unless another big site confirms it.
