It pops up all the time, it's a waste of time and I'm sure it has been used countless of times to discard some piece of information. It doesn't add up anything productive to the comments, people who comment don't even say anything they actually think they just "did you know that MBFC says this so it has to be truth?" I could go on but I think you get the idea.

Can you post a few real examples? Not sure I fully understand what youre aiming at.

Right now it sounds like youre trying to impliment censorship.

This happens every few days, all the time. Low effort comment with no scientific back up. Yes, I am trying to censor the neoliberal outlook from being presented as reality in this community.

Neoliberals can suck it

Oh yea that sounds like AI propaganda bullshit.

Thanks for sharing, I havent actually seen any of these yet but would support a ban.

AFAIK most posts have a single source news disclaimer and stuff like that anyway so its redundant to begin with.

That was my exact thought, it reads like AI, even tho I'm sure the person who commented did so in their full good will. Everyone could say some news outlet is propaganda, and they are right, most news outlets are sponsored by whatever government their company resides.
