And 43rumours had the temerity to call someone out for fake news! ???????? I like it when rumour sites give a rating to the veracity of their own rumours. Its pretty much the equivalent to people ranking their own farts. My new favourite is when they are self important enough to announce the countdown to the unveiling of a new rumour. "I'm going to announce something that is highly likely to be untrue but by ramping up your anticipation and making you wait for the announcement this gives it some degree of importance so you are far more likely to believe it to be true". Which reminds me, when is the Tory manifesto being released ? kaylee, Thpriest, johnnyd and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 10, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted November 10, 2019 Not yet, but definitely before the Russian interference report which names 9 Tory donors! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50366956 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted November 10, 2019 Super Members Share Posted November 10, 2019 Maybe 43Rumors will say Vitaliy was one of those nine. This is from an interview he did on their site in 2011. Quite prescient really https://www.43rumors.com/cameras-are-like-beer-vitaly-kiselev-interviewed-by-43rumors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 10, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted November 10, 2019 His powers of prediction failed him here though: Quote V.K.: FF bodies are not important, at all. People like to talk about it. Many even buy them. But from economic standpoint they are not very important. I counted 34 adverts on that single page by the way, all with who-knows how many tracking cookies. 43rumours is like if I collected up all the Vietnamese spambot content and promoted it to occupy 8 tenths of the EOSHD home page.

I'm going to go for a new slant on the genre and start JohnsonRumours, where I post reports of statements that the Prime Minister has made that might actually be true. I'll grant you the US franchise so you can do the same with TrumpRumors. kye, Andrew Reid, Thpriest and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 VK has been making bold/provocative predictions for years now, sometimes they have an element of truth to them, sometimes they don't. 12 hours ago, BTM_Pix said: I like it when rumour sites give a rating to the veracity of their own rumours. Its pretty much the equivalent to people ranking their own farts. 43rumors (and they other sites) are not ranking "their own rumors", but rather they're rating the trustworthiness of their sources. Which is a handy factoid to have! So we don't give the same weight to a wild brand new rumor from an unknown anonymous stranger as they do for someone who has been repeatedly accurate in the past.

Nah, they're fine, you just need to take everything with a huge grain of salt. The main problem with them is that people read a rumor and not only think it's 100% confirmed, they extrapolate whatever their dreams are from it. Like that recent firmware update from Panasonic - all 43rumors said that it's major and it's coming, yet people took it as "OMG GH5 6K RAW UPDATE CONFIRMED GUYS SELL YOUR POCKET CAMERAS NEW KING IS COMING"..

no_connection Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 So a real question, are these sites (since they are all connected) just a way to spam Luminar ads? I didn't want to make a new thread about it but it's in every other or 3rd post and seem to be the only regular ad not run by ad network across all sites. Some of them erks me enough to manually block the ads and make me not want to touch the software with a stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no_connection Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 oh look, the one I blocked specifically, I can't be the only one getting mad about that, left side looks like a real human, right side looks like next Detroit become human installment. AI making ppl into robots is just wrong on more levels than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
