  People are still allowed to share their experience and opinions without citations being a requirement.

    I never said they weren't. Although if its a personal opinion, then it can't really be taken as fact. The claim seemed off, so I was curious where it came from. A google search, it's an alleged claim by Nate Silver posted on X from a year ago. Recent post from Nate is that X is rigged. https://protos.com/nate-silver-says-x-is-rigged-musk-cries-bulls/ https://protos.com/nate-silver-says-x-is-rigged-musk-cries-b... That seems to suggest that it's Far right.

    > People are still allowed to share their experience and opinions without citations being a requirement. Expressing feelings and staying assertions are two different things. If you go around saying the sky is red and someone asks you for the source, it's not reasonable to throw a tantrum while desperately trying to move the goalpost by weaseling around with excuses such as "well aktchualy it feels red to me" nonsense. If you make a statement, own it. If you are caught peddling baseless bullshit don't complain about being caught, complain about mindlessly posting baseless bullshit.

      Where was the tantrum? I think a citation should be provided, else concerns about straw man arguments might not be allayed.

  Not on hand but you can observe it along the way, and sometimes they do a post or video to justify themselves, on X or BS. People notice because some loud proponents of https://helloquittex.com/ https://helloquittex.com/ came back, sometimes quietly. Personally I think X & BS impact is over exaggerated anyway.

  Downvoted for asking for a citation?!
