I like the bots, don't ban them, let people block them if they don't like them.
- 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.

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.
- I don't mind Ground news, though I don't pay for it and use it mostly as a news headline aggregator.

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.

That was funny 👌 People downvoting cos they don't like the bot? Or don't like the criticism?
- Downvotes are likely because people don't like Linkerbaan.
