I've been on the Gon for many years and had a few periods where I was away from the Keyboard having a Breather.
In my assessment the direction offered on the Gon where audio inquiry is the content being shared upon is biased.
Biased to the point it is the Thread Weaving the Fabric of many responses to a inquiry made within the Gon Forum.
Biased to the Point the Moderators seem incapable of intercepting and shaping what is the main guidance to be found within the Forum.
There is a steering towards the notion that all fixes are solved as a Purchase or selecting a particular design as a model from a particular manufacturer.
Manufacturers and Sellers freely enter threads creating a situation that can be interpreted by the inquirer, that if their content is not heeded, there is not a further solution!!
The notion of making a purchase once added, usually, goes through the motions of ascending values for the recommendations.
Such input is clearly coming from those who are encouraging Purchases, as there are Purchases available from themselves.
With this pocket of influencers being at their marks for proposing the making of a purchase as the fundamental within the Gon Forum. There is a very very limited content that gets through, that is encouraging for the idea of being exploratory and to broaden ones experiences. This as a proposal becomes a very hard sell to an inquirer, when laden with the notion spending is a necessity.
The Gon unfortunately has a Hidden Agenda that is not actually too well hidden, as the acceptance of certain participation is totally tolerated and clear for all to see, if they care to have a look.
