Does the NPR episode go into more allegations than them accepting payment for fasttracking new records? I read the vox article, and it seems to stop after mentioning the income they get from marketing and inventing new more niche records. AFAIK, the actual records they track are still well-defined and updated when new facts come to light.
- mysterydip 3y agoNot sure on that episode specifically. If you have two hours (or want to skip around to the good parts), this youtube video goes in depth on the records of Tommy Tallarico and his videogame-related records: https://youtu.be/0twDETh6QaI?si=dgBVx1osuCsDpaaZ https://youtu.be/0twDETh6QaI?si=dgBVx1osuCsDpaaZ It seems that, originally, Guinness just took his word for it and printed it as fact, but to your point eventually they renamed his record so it was more accurate.
