Latest GAFAM marketer in "analyst" clothing https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2022/01/13/meet-the-new-monk-kate-holterhoff/ #redmonk = glorified #marketing
#redmonk
"AWS is a RedMonk customer." So #redmonk makes puff pieces for #amazon #bezos and other client oligarchs like #microsoft and #billgates (that's their business model: marketing with the veneer of "analyst") https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2021/12/10/reinvention/
To co-called 'analysts' like #redmonk the so-called "clients" are clients in the same sense that to 'news' publishers the advertisers are clients. Context: https://joindiaspora.com/posts/21957625
"Datastax and Splunk are RedMonk clients. Confluent and Databricks are not currently clients." #redmonk writes articles about it clients? Are those articles what they pay for? https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2021/11/04/kafka-vs-pulsar/
Also #redmonk : we analyse the market position of #microsoft based on data from... Microsoft (and yes, Microsoft pays us) ;-)
"Disclosure: Couchbase, Datastax, MongoDB, Neo4J, QuestDB, Redis Labs and SingleStore are RedMonk clients" (forgot #microsoft ... also mentioned there) ... read as: we're 'analysts' at #redmonk and we take money for #marketing disguised as 'expert' advice https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2021/10/26/general-purpose-database/
Stephen O'Grady of #microsoft #redmond ... I mean #redmonk ... does some #revisionism for his sponsor Microsoft and pushes #clownComputing etc. Azure is an epic failure, so let's pay some so-called 'analysts' (glorified marketers) https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2021/09/20/fragmentation-abstractions/
#microsoft = RedMond
#ibm = #RedHat
Corrupt 'analysts' (and media quoting those fake 'experts', funded by IBM and Microsoft) = #RedMonk
Microsoft-funded 'analyst' basing its 'study' of #programming languages on #Microsoft ; or based on a set of projects that chose Microsoft #proprietarysoftware for code hosting; is this scientific? Of course not. https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2021/08/05/language-rankings-6-21/ #redmonk #deletegithuc
