| 2021-07-06 | E Bunton | | I've noticed in the recent past that sites which were labeled centrist have been reclassified "extreme left". Learned that the app sources their bias ratings come from "Media Bias Fact Check": These days, MBFC is generally used as a source when someone wants to add a veneer of respectability to the extremely tired claim that almost all trustworthy news outlets are liberal in nature. MBFC does not shield users from opinion journalism, it is opinion. Specifically, it is the opinion of a guy named Gus. - The Columbia Journalism Review describes Media Bias/Fact Check as an amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and Van Zandt as an "armchair media analyst". The Poynter Institute notes, "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific." -(Wikipedia) If I do not already have information about a news outlet, having instant access to some random ideological placement that falsely calls it into question makes me less knowledgeable. If you point this out, they'll remind you that users can change their own ratings. But if I already have information about an outlet, repositioning it on a list for me alone to see is a meaningless placebo. MBFC actually does seem reliable in their factual/non factual ratings. Reddit Pro Tools could source those instead, but...I have a feeling they're getting exactly what they want out of it. | |
| 2021-03-02 | Henry Cornuelle | | I don't really care about the political side, but it's nice setting custom tags for people who post in music subs I like so I can see other fans of GYBE in the wild and so on. I just wish adding subreddits wasn't case-sensitive. | |
| 2021-02-18 |  | | Very useful. So many idiots on reddit need to filter them out. | |
| 2020-11-11 |  | | It works. But it also stores way too much data on my computer. I had been using it for a few months, and it stored over 60 GB in AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB. Took me a while to figure out what was taking up so much space on my computer. Wouldn't install unless you've got plenty of hard drive space to spare. | |
| 2020-09-03 |  | | My alt account has been tagged with "pol troll" for 80 or so comments on US politics based subs. I never post on these subs because I am not American, nor am I interested in US politics. It is very apparent that the developers are tagging accounts so certain users receive harassment. | |
| 2020-03-31 | Jen Hanna | | This addon is useful for useful idiots that need someone to tell them what to think and believe. Beyond that it's utterly worthless. | |
| 2020-02-11 | Abc Def | | Very useful extension thanks | |
| 2019-11-14 | George Spelvin | | Awesome extension. It's like seeing MAGA hats in a crowd of people to see who is not worth talking to! It helps identify those who support a fascist regime so that I can ignore their often racist/xenophobic venom and discuss reasonably with those that don't fall into these categories. Someone who frequents The_Donald on Reddit is too deep into the kool aid to be rational. Edit: had to adjust my vote -- no update in months and I now have to run another version of this put out by another user after RPT stopped working. | |
| 2019-11-14 |  | | Was great but is pretty much abandoned by the author now. The support sub on Reddit goes completely unanswered (until someone asks about taking it over and doing fixes.) | |
| 2019-10-27 |  | | No updates and broken. |
