Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker bot?
I know MediaBiasFactCheck is not a be-all-end-all to truth/bias in media, but I find it to be a useful resource.
It makes sense to downvote it in posts that have great discussion -- let the content rise up so people can have discussions with humans, sure.
But sometimes I see it getting downvoted when it's the only comment there. Which does nothing, unless a reader has rules that automatically hide downvoted comments (but a reader would be able to expand the comment anyways...so really no difference).
What's the point of downvoting? My only guess is that there's people who are salty about something it said about some source they like. Yet I don't see anyone providing an alternative to MediaBiasFactCheck...
You're viewing a single thread.
It's too much noise. Its posts are huge and take up way too much space.
The posts are 4 lines unless you are using an AP that fails at displaying spoilers.
The posts are 4 lines but when each comment includes 3 or 4 sources it checks, you end up with a giant block of spoiler text that usually takes up about a full screen (Sometimes less, sometimes more)
That comment you linked is displayed as four lines, and it only gets long if you expand everything.
I can get being upset with the corporation itself or the methodology is uses.
But if you don't interact with the spoiler tags,
it's as long as this comment.This is what i see on connect. Maybe its the app, but I'm sure its there's more people who see this and think its an eyesore.
Edit: yes each article is only 4 lines, but theres 3 entries.
This is what i see on connect.
I'd take this feedback to your app dev. Here's Voyager and Tesseract.
That's the app you use failing at displaying text, on a website that is mostly text.
You should submit a ticket to the dev, or use an app that's out of beta.
You blocked it or? We reduced the size by over 50% already.
I blocked it a few months back.
From a bot that exists like 2 weeks.
I may be thinking of a different bot then.
Hmmm, nope, I checked my block list and that's the right account name. I'm 100% sure that I blocked it more than 11 days ago though.
concidering the bot has a creation date listed on its profile as 7-28-24, it can't be too long ago that you did, I'm not sure what you saw.
