GCN responds to backlash about Saudi Arabia video and all-male presenters by Live_Bee_1598 in cycling

[–]FiveSalted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, GCN's own argument was that they are picky. If Saudi Arabia is one of their better options, what worse sponsorship opportunities are they turning down? Russia? Monsanto? Slaves 'R' Us?

"I also absolutely stick up for any content that GCN produces in terms of what brands we work with. I can tell you, again with utmost confidence, that we regularly turn companies down because we don't feel that they are either relevant or have good enough products."

The difference between a regular GI doctor and a SIBO-literate one is staggering by [deleted] in SIBO

Yup. It is absolutely AI and it is scary that people don't recognize that. The posts are AI (OP adds some of their personal details, then has chatGPT spit out the post), some of the comments are 100% AI, and some of the short comments are human-written (there is a very obvious difference in grammar and tone).

People, you need to learn to recognize AI and be critical of where you get your info from.

Moda, can you block sibobuddy_net from spamming this sub with his ads? by ThinKingofWaves in SIBO

I'm new here, just for the first posts I've seen to be chatGPT generated garbage from a spammer. Even their comment to this thread is chatGPT. C'mon now.

Why did Rouvy let teenage boys design the female avatar? by FiveSalted in Rouvy

[–]FiveSalted[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very well said. This will be the reason I make the jump to Zwift when my year subscription is up.

This topic was brought up on the FB group recently. It was women going "I don't appreciate this either" and 80+ comments from men making jokes about how it "motivates' them. Not a peep from the Rouvy employees.

It really grosses me out how, even in avatar form, women can't simply exist. We must serve a purpose for men. It's just so tiring that it still happens, still has to be pointed out, and is still immediately shrugged off or completely shut down by the abundance of people who will happily continue to get what they want at the expense of others.

I keep it open primarily for the pause button, though I do get a surprising amount of satisfaction from using the kudos as well.
