My friends, these big companies are not stupid. They have learned over the years, and their PR departments have SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) to handle many of the situations that arise.
Back in the late 80s and early 90s even before the “internet”, you could log onto newsgroups over a modem at 9600k 😮.
On a news group focusing on printers any questions about hewlett-packard’s print quality was immediately met with an effort to portray any such problem as due to inferior paper. When challenged about exactly which paper manufacturers were doing such a terrible job. With the likelihood that a paper manufacturer would have enough credibility to sue hp. Suddenly the people claiming paper problems vanished. couldn’t possibly been a hp spokeshole.
It is incredibly easy to pay someone to check blogs, post responses or news articles, and even write scientific papers, and then for the company to write it all off as “advertising” .
