For context (warning, rough language): Hit men, click whores, and paid apologists: Welcome to the Silicon Cesspool[^] from RealDan.
Note that the original article was removed from the Daily Insider prior to publication because I don't want to support this kind of shill pseudo journalism if I can avoid it. But it remains here to entertain the cynical and the curious.
