This kind of article makes me sooooo pissed off

I agree, it's funny and satisfying at the same time to see people calling out her BS. The problem is that there's 100's of sites like that, if not 1000's (in other languages/countries also). At the end of the day, if someone else is careless enough to buy something without their due diligence towards researching it first then that's their problem. Smart people will spend a few minutes learning details, kinda like most people who end up on RIU. I'm sure half of us came here in the first place because we wanted to find out if a certain strain was worth buying or a specific light works good for growing etc.

These articles pop up once every month or two (relating to grow lights in English), I flagged this one via a google alert for led grow lights. I posted it because of its blatant nature and hilarious content. I mean wow man, I could have randomly selected grow lights off Amazon and I still would have ended up with better lights than are in that article. Full on face palm.

I dont think it is the overwhelming tsunami you make it out to be and a grass roots fight is possible. This is all your sandbox she is pissing in guys and gals. I think its defeatist to do otherwise and just on principle I will meet ignorance with education as best I can, every time, ignoring it perpetuates more ignorance. Its like a cancer and should be cut out. Maybe linking stuff like this to the real centers of knowledge like RIU is the cure. IDK

So we are all aware of the problems, the question is how to swat down these articles going forward, whats the best strategy? Nothing? This? I have to think anything is better than nothing.
