PR Firm Has Been Paying Rotten Tomatoes Critics For Positive Reviews

  • It's possible you just have bad taste in movies

  • I would agree with you to until I saw the cobweb review last night. That movie is absolutely garbage, I think they are getting some kind of kick back

  • I mean that's a lot of words to summarize you didn't really get what's going on. End result there is still no grounds on which to blame Google for any of this and the only one responsible here for protecting the user is Apple. No real way to slice it otherwise but I'll tell you this much, nobody is asking you to defend the biggest company in the world.

  • Sure but actually no as that literally wouldn't be able to happen on windows. Windows will immediately quarantine any flagged files and they won't be able to launch without the user having to jump through some rather extravagant hoops. Since you mentioned bonzibuddy and search bars I'm gonna go ahead and assume you haven't looked at a Windows PC in the last 15 or more years so I guess that would explain your misunderstanding on this subject

  • 7% is percent market sale. Not sales. Mac's have very rapid EOL as you can't update to newer versions for reasons of revenue so you will so you will actually see more older PCs running than anything and with Mac's declining sales you will see fewer and fewer as time goes on especially since Intel mac's are losing support already

  • It was already explained in the original article. It's not what you want to believe but it is the actual situation and I'm not gonna spend forever writing a response because it won't actually change the fact of you reading things

  • Actually it seems you may have made some mistakes in researching causes of viruses. Viruses have infected Windows machines more in the past as it is a larger target, there are far far more Windows users than Apple and Linux users by a large large margin which means you have a higher target for your attack. MacOS makes up about 7% of the operating system market at its peak and Linux hovers are 2-3% so planning a virus to affect one is not a great idea unless.... Microsoft's security started to become so strong that malware developers now have to seek the open vulnerabilities (see op). Since that's not understood we can move on

    As far as the article indicates the ad itself was not actually a Google fault whatsoever, it actually appears as a Google ad though. The malware itself is installed by other means entirely but the user themselves, the relation to Google here is that the malware already installed on the machine disguises itself as a Google ad. Really, honestly, read the article next time. This is 100% standard malware attack on an unprotected system.

  • Definitely sounds like it wouldn't and hasn't gotten anywhere on Linux or Windows. And if we look at the authors page we can see they may have some deep bias going on. You may want to block articles by them preemptively.

  • I like how Apple has all these virus issues and their users will go to any length to make it not appear to be Apple's fault.

    Edit: Downvotes don't change the fact that I am right whether it upsets you or not

  • No this was all merged into YouTube many years ago after it was announced long before that they were ending it. This is Lemmy so everyone is just gonna pretend Google just announced this and make a big deal out of it because "Google bad"
