> Lol this site is a joke, how much is TunnelBear paying him for the top spot?

Sadly, this is the case for a lot of media/recommendations/etc now. Maybe it has always been this way, but it's much more noticable now.

The fan driven recommendations/sites are a thing of the past as everyone is trying to monetize and make money off their articles.

Even worse, with the move by corporate america/government agencies/political groups into the social media space, even comments/submissions have to been viewed with some degree of skepticism.

It seems like every other article/submission/comment/etc are selling something and the internet/social media/etc is no longer a community but a marketplace.
