AI-generated content and other unfavorable practices have put longtime staple CNET on Wikipedia's blacklisted sources
Average readers aren't the only ones tired of sorting through AI "work"— Wikipedia editors have had it, too.
In the wave of AI controversies and lawsuits, CNET has been publicly admonished since it first started posting thinly-veiled AI-generated content on its site in late 2022— a scandal that has culminated in the site being demoted from Trusted to Untrusted Sources on Wikipedia.
Considering that CNET has been in the business since 1994 and maintained a top-tier reputation on Wikipedia up until late 2020, this change came after lots of debate between Wikipedia's editors and has drawn the attention of many in the media, including some CNET staff members.

Tom's hardware should be blacklisted. After it was purchased by a company that has a partnership with Intel, the bias and corporate propaganda is terrible.
Ohhhh that's why they have such a boner for Team Blue all the time. You just solved a mystery for me.
A little while ago I read part of a review where the author goes on and on about this latest and greatest AMD processor and how shit it was because it was way too powerful and really you should just buy a Intel CPU that is way slower and just as expensive, if not more so. Because you don't really need that much power do you? Or more money in your pocket? Give poor little indie developer Intel a try. I couldn't continue reading.
I was flabbergasted, yet impressed by the audacity of such a claim that has zero reasonable logic. Now it all makes sense.
They must have hired the clown that runs UserBemchark.
Lol I found the review through there, holy shit
I am out of the loop, are the benchmarks themselves still decent? Only part i ever used
I remember hearing that when AMD surpassed Intel in multithreaded performance, userbenchmark adjusted they're benchmark scoring to favor single threaded performance over multithreaded
They're not useful for anything besides comparing individual parts with other parts of the same model. UBM heavily skews the results to favour Intel by heavily favouring single core performance over multicore performance, and they adjust it further if AMD dares perform better. It's useless as an actual benchmarking site.

Hate CinemaBlend. Just endless vapid Ai generated shit. Probably the same course for the rest.
Oh that explains a bit. Who's decent these days?
if you speak german (or are willing to use your webbrowsers built-in translator to read articles), https://Gamestar.de is really cool. It is subscription-based though for the majority of its Content.
I deleted their bookmark when that story about the KFC gaming console was plastered on the front page for days
