Oh look, another Tom's guide advertorial masking as original content...
Anyone who makes a living off of reviews is going to be suspect whether it's tech journals, youtubers, reddit shills, Amazon reviewers, review sites, etc. This is why I launched my own proprietary review methodology which I'm willing to share with others in my 16-week online course.

Have they ever not been?
Before the sale when Igor still wrote for them, Tom's was pretty well respected as was Anand.
I also suspect ArsTechnica of running sponsored AI stories these days.
I would quite honestly be surprised, they have been vocal in the past about having no such thing.
They're all doing it. Most tech these days just isn't exciting enough to attract attention without them hyping it.
