The difference is if you pick on Shatner he'll probably sue your ass in to the ground. But attacking random faceless internet marketers is much easier!

"Cornell researchers, who recently published a paper about creating a computer algorithm for detecting fake reviewers." That shit better doesn´t hit the market and annoys a hard working internet marketer by intimidating his efforts :ak:

It's an interesting story for people outside our bubble.

I forget all the time the level of ignorance average people have regarding the internet.
