I can exclusively reveal that I have received several t-shirts from Hacktoberfest. Indeed, I'm wearing one right now. My laptop also has many of their stickers.

They didn't pay me to write this blog though.
Of course, you have no way of knowing if that's true. Just as I have no way of knowing if you were paid by a rival to spread discord.
- mnky9800n 2y agoMy point isn't that this happened. I don't think anyone did anything other than write and read a blog post. It's that we exist in a world where it could and therefore the thought that I might need to question the authenticity of things is ever present which I find troublesome.
- edent 2y agoThis isn't a modern problem. Shakespeare was paid handsomely by the Crown - hence his somewhat hagiographic biographies. You will never find writing which is free from bias and influence. You can either make peace with that and find ways to mitigate against it, or you can remain in distress.
- mnky9800n 2y agoI choose peace.
