    IDK why people didn’t just block mbfc instead of down voting it every time it shows up

      They don’t want the community to develop a trust for what very well could be a disinformation bot.

      I’m actually kind of OK with that b/c it pushes it to the bottom of the comments, so it’s out of the way but still easy to find if i’m curious.

        Yeah some people, like OP, will post some blog and call it credible journalism. Abs maybe it is, but how the hell would I know?

          By developing your own media literacy and attempting to verify facts in the things you read by using other sources. Better to evaluate news sources yourself than relying on a biased bot.

              Actually, in your specific case you’re probably right, it’s probably better if you don’t put any more strain on an unsound framework.

      Most bots are like ads.

      Everyone can install an ad-blocker. But it would be better if that collective effort was not needed.

        there should be a simple little checkbox in your settings if you don’t want to see bots.

          It kinda reads like you are saying ‘Someone should create this’ when you really mean ‘It is there if you look’.

              I turned off bot accounts because there was (maybe still is but idk) so many Reddit bots just posting links, which wouldn’t be bad but there was 0 comments consistently so they felt more like spam to me

              Edit: this was back during the Reddit exodus when I made my lemmy account

                i found there to just be a few prolific reddit repost bots, so i just blocked them individually. i actually personally appreciate bots like that mbfc bot though.

    I don’t really downvote the bot too often, but YouTubers I watch have made me lump ground news in with nordvpn, raycons, hellofresh, factor, fuum, betterhelp, and the whole lot of influencer companies who probably have customer acquisition costs of $60+ and seem to survive, despite usually turning out to be junk. Anything advertised that way becomes garbage in my opinion.

      Nordvpn is quite nice, if you don’t want privacy, but different ip addresses in order to evade government surface level checks.

      Anything else ytbers promote is most probably shit. The more advertising a product needs the worse it is.

      This is why I present to you the todays sponsor: sponsor block. A plugin for your Firefox, it skips over the parts where Youtubers fart out the paid script.

    Admins: we want some feedback from the community about the media fact check bot.

    Everyone: we hate it, turn it off.

    Admins: ok, we heard you, we’re going to keep it on.

      I come to Lemmy to interact with people, not bots. They spam unwanted comments on literally every post for stuff that should be in a browser extension instead of forced down everyone’s instance.
