russtopherb Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Not even going to bother looking at it. Let's be real - the things/people/sites that get hated on are the ones that are important and well-liked. Jealousy is an ugly thing.

MattF Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Wanker. If you actually look at his Instagram account, it's 90% bashing MGS.

hckymeyer Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 It's not the only account like that. Also found @mgsisbs I guess that's how you know you make it though. The first step is imitation (we've had plenty of those over the years) and now it's moved on to bashing.

downlowkey Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 MyGolfSpy debuted an Instagram post encouraging would be social media influencers to reconsider. It included a thinly veiled line about selling one’s soul for a bluetooth speaker of questionable quality (Amp Caddy). All the influencers whom presumably exchanged their souls for said speaker predictably shifted into herd mentality blast mode. The ~750 comments garnered by the post made for some very entertaining bedtime reading and also conveniently doubles as a comprehensive list of IG influencers to unfollow/block. DLK reading comments, repeatedly thinking: “Goodness gracious these influencers are a seriously insecure bunch” And now the entire MyGolfSpy HQ team is taking a week off in observance of employee mental health awareness.

INFLUENCER Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Just go back 3 posts on IG to see MGS call out the entire golf influencer community and a specific speaker brand. For what? A post like that was meant to get this type of reaction from us. A "reputable" company should be a little more responsible with their messages they send out to a public community. There was no reason to provoke and call out such a large and important group of people who only want to grow the game of golf. MGS needs to stick with what they know and not dump on everyone else. And honestly if you can dish it, you need to learn how to take it. CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the bad ones they called out and said that there were good ones out there. Its not just the golf world that has bad influencers. The experts in the various genres rightfully call out the bad ones. 808nation, silver & black, tony@CIC and 2 others 5 Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks are getting big heads thinking they mean something to the world because of follows and likes. Sorry, but if you're gone tomorrow no one cares, and that speaker company is on to the next one. 808nation, null, RickyBobby_PR and 6 others 9 Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: LAB Link.1 Ball: Z-Star Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INFLUENCER Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Where in this message does it talk to just the "bad" influencers? There was direct intent to publicly damage a small brand here. My question is why? No need to keep feeling intimidated by this, just a simple answer needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire point the their post is don't just become a shill for something if a company is offering you a free product. Especially if that product turns not to be of the best quality. yungkory, GolfSpy_BNG, golfertrb and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtopherb Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 MGS writers put their names and faces out there and stand behind what they do.
