Sold out now folks, no incentive for Martin anymore

spikeyman

Since this site which has done so well since launch, one we could all trust and depend on as working for us the consumer has now been sold to Money Supermarket it is the end for impartial advice in our view.

Money Supermarket consistently return results for comparisons which do not provide the full facts, in our view skewing the results to where they get the most benefits.

After seeing results then clicking through to the quotes and checking the small print, something Martin always advocates, one finds the quotes are not correct, they are assuming things and often don't provide the cover required. Of course people who do not read the small print before taking out cover find this out only when it is too late.

Motto; Check Check and Check again.

We doubt very much an unbiased view will prevail now as it will all be about profits for Money Supermarket. We never trust Money Supermarket for an financial advice.

Oh well good whilst it lasted......:(

I guess it is natural to be cynical because most of us have seen or experienced a company taking over another and hoping to have kept it @ arms reach / separate entity to then change beyond recognition!! (and often incorporate it!)

We will just have to wait n see.

Martin did say if MSE editorial is heavily influenced there would be penalties and he would leave.

.....and yes I haven't posted often, but that's because I have better things to do.

BUT, if you don't think this is a sell out then you are sadly, naively deluded.

The site has been sold to a "for profit" company. Martin and his staff have received money.

If that is not selling out, then I think you all need a new dictionary.

If any of you regular users are thinking of setting up a rival site, with the original ideals of this site, then please let me know - shout from the rooftops. I'm sure you will get many subscribers, and you can count me in.

Long live altruism.

It has been going that way for a while.... MSE 'news' is rarely news, and often contains errors which regular experienced posters then seek to correct.

But having said that, while the official 'news' and 'advice' may be corrupted by the profit making ethos, the threads hopefully won't be similarly affected - at least for some time, anyway.
