Since MrX doesnt allow me to express my opinion here I personally asked Radar to approve this post. I believe I have a right to post what I think like all other members.
Ok, we all have seen that in fact Satch was pushing fake GTP stuff instead of the real deal but every single post he made about GTP was supported by many EF vets. I totally agree with blut wump that whole system of source check with mods is fucked up! And I do believe that guys who supported Satch in every fucking thread were well paid! Also Satch was blatantly open advertising his products on this board and many other places. Through many years on the EF board I`ve seen it only once and I think its not good for the board`s reputation. I believe that too many people had their vested interests behind Satch`s dirty advertising campaign! I mean look at GTP! It looks like shit! I`m not saying its good or bad but definitely doesnt look like bestseller! How come it became so popular? Very simple! backed by incredible amount of vets. Did they really like it that much? I dont think so but some gear for free helps alot! In my opinion there are many other products on the market that deserve better reputation than GTP, looks better, works better just doesnt get good promotion like GTP. Satch was an excellent promotion campaign engine! As I posted before there are smart people who can sell you your own shit and there are many other supporters who will always be there to tell you it smells like a rose!
I dont think there is a solution of this problem, hopefully newbies read it and will be more carefull with gear they choose next time.
