On journalistic integrity:
I am wondering...if it is possible that publishers and developers are "paying" for positive reviews and press, is it also possible for the same thing to be done for bad reviews and press for the competition?
We know that advertising companies have employees whose only job is to use social media to promote products and pose (and post) as just an average user that likes a product (guerrilla advertising). It is certainly possible for these same companies to bash the competition online, stoking fanboy wars and clickbait articles. Viral advertising can work against the competitor.
It would certainly explain some of the hate towards gaming lately.
That's an interesting theory on competition paying for bad reviews. It seems feasible but unlikely in the ssense that a site that gives a bad review would run the risk of not receiving product from the developers of the product in the future
