I'm starting to feel stupid going onto VGChartz

You can't blame them. gamrFeed's job is to get hits - nothing more, nothing less. And, if you compare the number of views that "Sony is the Next Nintendo" as a fanboy article with no proper evidence supporting it gets (over 16000, I think?) to most of the objective sales analysis articles (from under a thousand to less than five thousand), it's quite clear that the former is far, far better at getting the job done.
We should just be glad that VGC has a couple of objective articles, even if they are getting fewer and farther in between.

Bingo. This strategy is extremely short-term though, as it comes with the price of users getting bored with the same old fanboy drivel which will eventually drive them away.

Hardly. Users will remain here for "the sales figures and the community" (that line is so overused, it's getting amusing, xD) and still view the articles every so often because, they don't actually lose anything by reading the article, regardless of whether or not it would have been written better by a monkey on a typewriter. Therefore, by publishing flamebait that hasn't been proofread, gamrFeed gets more hits despite putting in way less effort in terms of editing and accuracy without losing any significant proportion of its readership since they all stay for the rest of the site.

Businesswise, it's a genius strategy!
