>Why posting this today OP?

they have an agenda, if you look at their submission history

bangers such as "why climate change is not an existential crisis" and "much climate hysteria just aimless guilt in search of futile acts of atonement"

people should lose their submission privileges after having dozens on dozens of flagged submissions, history of editorializing of titles, etc. some of their other non-climate submissions are really quite awful. just a bunch of rage bait.

Sadly, I concur. Their submission history is reminiscent of other motivated accounts that dilute the website's intellectual curiosity with zero-sum editorials. It's certainly deliberate, and their comment history seems to defend the submissions rather than conceding their obvious low quality.

Perhaps these sorts of accounts could be valuable if their submissions were auto-[dead] and needed a vouch to be seen. As-is, it's grinding down /new with a pattern of low-quality commentary and non-curious, partisan ragebait.
