An AI company… They used to manually change system event logs to show it wasn’t their software that caused the downtime for our clients.

Bought over a million dollars worth hardware (25% of which didn’t even got racked), over 200 46inch LED screens that no one used, and very expensive offices at posh locations in the bid to increase its IPO valuation.

I’ve always been wondering to what degree are logs accurate, or rather believable as presented.

Such as when it comes to affiliate marketing, or ads. How can I, as a customer, know the numbers Amazon or Google about how many people used my link / seen my ad, aren’t full of shit?
