Ad-banner trolling.

The tech press in general are whores, cheap diseased ones. Previously
whores to print advertisers, now whores to ad-banner trolling. So
unsubstantiable bullshit is the order of the day, because IT GETS THE
CLICKS.

It's so much nicer dealing with the mainstream press - at least they
can spell "journalism."
