I feel like I should just start writing biased articles analyzing tech calls that are made specifically to pander to those who love the most popular/buzz worthy skaters, and make money off all the site traffic. It would be so easy and one could make a killing because, instead of considering balanced analysis, people are chomping at the bit to read articles/stats that reinforce their views especially ones that are presented/formatted in such a way to make it seem like they have actual scientific basis (see above). And once I’ve collected a decent sum for all the inevitable frenzy of traffic/retweets/etc., be like “Just kidding... I actually think the judging wasn’t that bad... thanks for all the hits!” It’d be manipulative but rather lucrative too.
Seems like that the author will benefit this way from an article such as the one they posted, regardless of the litany of variables they are neglecting to mention, and overwhelming bias ... which is worse than many judges whom people condemn for their bias. And since they’re making coin off of it... good for them... I guess?!
You gave me a business idea. I sell mugs online - how about I make some "Yuzu is the true GOAT" or "OVERSCORED" mugs, and then post the link in those twitter nests. Then when they get to the shop they have the option to change it to Nathan is the true GOAT.
It's borderline immoral.
Merry Christmas!
