TC has always been a big scam under the guise of journalism. And the mailbox example is not even a very good one. I still remember, when I used to frequent TC, they had glowing reviews for startups they were directly involved with. Most of the time they didn't even bother to mention the conflict of interest.
Not to mention Arrington and his monthly quota of manufactured drama.
Worst part, TC always did and still does (though not as much), quite frequently cover most of the frontpage of HN with regurgitated 1 paragraph "news" that has been already discussed to death on other frontpage submission.
How the hell and why the fuck, I have no idea...
- larrys 14y ago"TC has always been a big scam under the guise of journalism." Why is that a scam? It's only a scam to the people freshly hatched that a) don't know it's a scam or b) can't figure out because they don't read it or other things enough to discover it's a "scam" (not my word just repeating). Sometimes the reason that "scams" get people upset is the same reason a guy will get mad when another guy gets the girl because of bullshit. And the guy who lost out either has scruples (and feels cheated) or wouldn't ever think that anyone would fall for the particular bullshit that landed the girl.
