[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 points 4 months ago (13 children) I don't disagree. Does that make them "blacklisted" by AMD? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 13 child comments replies: [–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 months ago (12 children) Yes that's kind of what a blacklist is... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago I interpret "Blacklisted" as: You never gonna get anything for us. For a very long time permalink fedilink source parent [–] Auli@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) Except it seems nobody got one. So could be they knew it sucked and only sent some to people who they knew would be positive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 months ago Yea. That's it I think. A bunch of publications that are known bootlickers got samples but true review channels didn't, except Hardware Unboxed that I know of. permalink fedilink source parent [–] iamthetot@piefed.ca -1 points 4 months ago (8 children) Not getting one product that other reviewers also didn't get? I guess I had a more extreme definition of blacklist. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago (5 children) blacklisted is just a catch word for the youtube thumbnail and title to get people to watch but it seems you can't look past the surface It's obvious that AMD didn't send out review samples as usual because they knew the CPU was underwhelming and ridiculously priced. That's it. Now they're being called out by reviewers using whatever attracts attention. GN has "Blacklisted" literally on a tshirt so of course they called it blacklisting. That's their way of fighting back against AMD cherry-picking who to send out review samples to, and when, depending on whether it's in their favor. That's shady and anti-consumer and these reviewers are using their channels, thumbnails and videos to call them out. We should be thanking them for that not whining online about how they're just victimizing themselves or whatever you seem to think. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 points 4 months ago (4 children) I mean, if my comments came off as whining, then we have very different definitions of whining and blacklist.
