These responses are just copied off reddit verbatim without validation. I've seen the flight nurse and a couple of others before.
- ianai 7y agoThey’ve got to get their starter content somewhere?
- whatsmyusername 7y agoI mean, I guess I can copy a bunch of unverified AskReddit thread responses, make a website, mix in some javascript, and get a bunch of news.ycombinator karma? Like if OP had gone back and interviewed some of these people and got some validation they are who they say they are, sure.
- yaas 7y agoValidation is something that will likely happen in the future. But I also think anonymity is important as well. So figuring out that balance is key. You're right I should have tried to corroborate the Reddit users' stories. Sorry about that. However, many stories on the site are corroborated and will be going forward.
- JshWright 7y agoIs citing your sources in the plans "going forward"?
- JshWright 7y agoYeah, who cares about crediting sources when there is "content" to be had... I'm sure OP got permission to use these posts...
- yaas 7y agoYa, I pulled some content from a Reddit thread. I also did some research for some of the posts and wrote them myself, pulling together various info from quality sources I could find. And the other posts are direct from the source, as I coordinated the writing of them.
- JshWright 7y agoThe flight nurse seems like an of choice if you intentionally copied that one (without citation, apparently?). It's just a specific anecdote used to justify a rant about a single (unnamed) company...
