Translation: he likes Apple products and is open about it, whereas I don't.

I love apple products, have for 31 years but the guy is pretty biased towards Apple. He writes some interesting stuff but this article for instance is basically just repeating back whatever their PR flack said.

I seem to remember him slamming Apple Music for weeks on end. Is that how paid shills behave nowadays?

And what if he believes it?

I have little reason to doubt that Dash really posted lots of fake reviews. It's not like Apple goes and accuses people of that all the time...

> And what if he believes it?

So what if he does? I believe it. That doesn't mean that Apple has provided any actual proof, and only a blinkered shill would claim they had.

I have yet to work for a company where posting fake reviews on our applications wasn't the norm. Most users (myself included) can't be bothered to write a brand new review every time an app updates.

And I've yet to not give up a product if I spot fake reviews -- and it's not that hard either...

Nope, I'm a huge Apple guy, just don't care for The Loop at all.
