Well, that's a good question. About 50% of the stuff that gets stickied here is total bullshit, the mods put it up to get people talking and keep engagement up on the site.
That puts us at cross purposes. Like how fox news tried to appease two groups. Those wanted news and those that require stuff like "engaging and varied entertainment". Hey, they both make the $$ and that is the whole venture.
Now here, we pretend the only venture is getting truth. But that is at cross purposes with the desire to always 9nly be winning and engaging and entertaining and making people's feelings feel really nice but at the same time embattled. It sucks because anons are allergic to propaganda at the same time as suffering from withdrawal from it and requiring it. Tough deal. Real tough problem.
Take it up with the mods. For example, right now there is a sticky that is a twitter thread that says that the real test of courage was when Biden told everyone to take the shot when it came out, but the shot came out under Trump and he was openly telling everyone to get the shot for years and a lot of the early firings happened under Trump's administration. So, the sticky is wrong, but it's there to get everyone talking and boost engagement on the site.
edit: I will probably get banned if a mod sees this because they are very sensitive to the issue.
