Plenty of quasi experts make a living shilling a point of view. I’ve just seen so much trash published under the Forbes “contributor” by line that I automatically distrust it at this point.
- ChatGTP 3y agoThis comment really belongs on some other type of forum, not this one.
- d23 3y agoIf you are going to do an ad hominem attack, at least cite some specifics about this particular author. Otherwise, this adds nothing to the conversation.
- pmorici 3y agoThe parent was an appeal to authority. My comment wasn’t so much about this particular author as it was a comment on the general motivations of people who write on the Forbes contributor platform. In this case the author bills themselves as a consultant on self driving cars so given the venue of publication one has to wonder whether they were paid to write this. Writing under the Forbes contributor by line is an extremely questionable choice in any case.
- xnx 3y agoI feel the same about Forbes, but I really like this author. I think it hurts his credibility to publish his content there.
