I am in general never attacking posters personally, or have a aggressive tone or bad attitude against users. For example i share a graph or video where Apple Sillicon doesn't outperform a 3090 or Intel CPU, or write that M1 Ultra is being outperformed by a 3090 in this and this benchmark or game. That's generally how i post, and back that up with links/graphs or other material (YT reviews and comparisons). I get that some wont like that, but thats how it is man. Its no different then an Apple fan sharing a MaxTech video where Apple Sillicon does perform better than any other's hardware platform.
Yes, I am willing to grant you and acknowledge that you don't attack or insult other users directly or personally. The problem I have with your posts is that they're often out of context and do a bad job of playing devil's advocate. For example, there could be a discussion in an AMD GPU thread talking about scalability of InfinityCache across resolutions on Navi 21, and then you'll pop-in -- benchmarks in hand from some pro-Nvidia channel like OptimumTech -- and say something like: "AMD has terrible Ray Tracing performance. 6900 XT performs like a 3060 Ti sometimes. If only AMD could offer better RT performance and something like DLSS, then they would offer competitive options to the market."
To which, of course, you will be met with hostility and anger. Your defence of "oh I'm just showing benchmarks. I have no bias" just doesn't cut the mustard I'm afraid. There are a few reasons for this: i) You play the same trick over and over again; ii) You only target AMD, Apple, and console discussions; iii) You're not posting anything new (in the example above, all the people in the AMD chat know that AMD's RT performance is behind Nvidia's on a per-transistor/-watt basis); and iv) You're not contributing to the technical understanding of either the discussion before or after you posted.
Other times you will post cherry picked benchmarks and let the users infer what you're trying to say -- as is obvious from the various Apple discussions you've posted in. Like, yeah, we get it; M1 Pro/Max/Ultra isn't great in Blender and PC/console game ports. It's a real tragedy to the... 5 people in the world who do nothing but Blender render and game on their Macs. But the vast majority of pros are nothing but extremely happy with the performance increases they're seeing with the new range of Apple Silicon Macs.
At one time i called Anand for apple biased, which is still not attacking a user personally.
Yeah, dude, you can't just call Ian Cutress or Andrei F biased without evidence or proof. That's just a really really bad call.
LTT is generally attacked by Apple fans (mostly), but i dont get personally angry for that lol. Same for others who review Apple hardware where m1's weaknesses are shown.
LTT is attacked by many hardcore enthusiasts because his benchmarks are sloppy, his analyses are overly opinionated, and because he puts ad revenue and clicks (and access to Intel and Nvidia, in particular) above journalistic integrity.
Hell, even r/hardware is starting to get sick of LTT's antics.
Max Tech is one of the, if not the most biased YT'rs out there. I might note that once, but i am not rambling on and on about that. if you share his links, thats ok allright. Just whenever i share links of YT'rs who dont share the same visions.
No one is putting Max Tech on a pedestal, or using them to go against consensus view on anything.
Where people like Max Tech or Jonathan Morrison are handy is cross-Apple comparisons (comparing Intel Macs to Apple Macs). It also helps that they actually have day jobs which require them to work on Apple hardware (MaxTech operates a photography and video business; Jonathon is an audio producer and musician). So they provide some interesting real world insights.
Furthermore, we all acknowledge when we're using biased sources. You, however, cite people like this:

...and pretend that they're objective and have no ill-will towards Apple.
What i dont understand is why some, in special Apple fans, are getting so personal. So what if i say or share a link where Apple Sillicon is being put into negative light?
The problem, as I discussed above, is that you only share links to show Apple Silicon in a negative light. For example:
Power draw maxed, all media encoders running. Intel system is faster in Adobe aswell. Seems that dual chips being seen as one isnt all that smooth.
In cinebench the 12900k remains much faster in both single and multicore performance.
Its suprising to me that in Blender, just using the CPU, the ADL was faster than the m1 Ultra.
You took one particular benchmark, ignore the huge difference in power/heat/noise, and then apply the results generally. That's not how benchmarks or science works, my dude. You're like that guy who finds a niche area study and then denounces all of climate change, or a subsample of vaccine patients to write off the efficacy of the Covid 19 vaccines. It's just poor form.
