Nobody was using them anyway.

I appreciate the effort tho.

I mean, I matter to me.

I just thought i might make someone’s day marginally better, you know?

Well, the people answering had valid points and good reason to be upset.

Folk around these corners of the internet seem to generally have good intentions and I didn’t want to be disruptive. I appreciate you taking the time to look at the full picture and remain compassionate.

I’d love to tell you there was a bigger plan, but the truth is I just wanted some attention, attempted to be funny without going through the content to a responsible degree and made a cheap thoughtless jab.

I make my mistakes but always try to admit them, despite sometimes begrudgingly.

Once again, thank you for ykur kindness.

It would seem so, yes.

I may have missed some arguably relevant information.

Emphasis mine.

That would definitely be a more accurate description.

To be honest, i read the gist of it. Not the full thing. And to be fair, i wouldn’t consider my comment an actual opinion.

I’m not. I consider myself a reasonable person. Everyone disagrees, though.

People call me a man all the time and I don’t go around suing for defamation.

Yes.

Thank you.

I trust my sources advertising it too, but things with big budgets are often not what they seem, both to us and possibly to our sources as well.

Do we know who or what is funding it? Do we have a clear and open set of criteria for media classification? Haven’t seen anyone talk about that in advertisements…

I just went through its FAQ for the purposes of this reply and it says founders are ex-NASA and ex-Bain (global management consulting company)… If this doesn’t sound like a US Intel thing to you at this point, I doubt we’ll agree on anything else. If you’re willing to entertain that notion, however, it also says:

“Bias and factuality ratings are averaged from the published ratings from three third-party independent news publication monitoring organizations, when available”

Which are:

• All Sides
• Ad Fontes Media
• Media Bias Fact Check

So there you go if you want to tumble further down this one. I think I’m good about paying for this service, though. I guess making a large scale project like this one without selling off part of your soul to one devil or another is just not feasible. Oh, well.

Thank you for sharing this. <3

I’m sure lots of people just screencap the first google result or chatgpt answer, yeah.

I’ve noticed it used much more by younger content creators.
