Why are /pol/tards allowed to shill and astroturf antivaxx ideology on here? It's not science & math related and belongs on /pol/. They should be deleted & bans (range bans) given out.

>> No.15120660

>>15120649
Mods support or even promote /pol/ish ideology, or any controversial subjects, because it increases engagement in threads and therefore revenue

Because you need to go back. You are unwanted and your narrative has no traction here.

This isn't /pol/. This is a science & math board. /pol/tards like you contribute 0 to this board, you just spread your political ideology. Most of you fucking losers couldn't integrate a power function. Fuck off to /pol/.

Can confirm. I have reported many /pol/ posts, many of which are completely off-topic, not even related to vaxx, yet mods don't do shit.

99% of the /pol/ drama on /sci/ is from posters like you trying to create drama where there is none. You should be banned for life for continuing to encourage brigading and in general distracting from /sci/'s stated purpose in favor of nonstop intraboard drama of your creation. Just knock it off. We get it, you're sad and lonely and feel like you have no control over your world so you come here to shitpost in hopes of getting a small hit of dopamine from the reactions. You're the online equivalent of a Karen complaining to the manager, not because anyone did something wrong, but because you want attention. At least the Karens have the balls to leave their homes and face confrontation in person. You're too much of a coward to do that so you troll wherever you can online to feel even a little tingle of meaning. What a pathetic existence.

I see people posting scientific studies to support their critique of the Covid pandemic response. If you don't like that maybe you should go to a different website, maybe reddit has a science board?

No, you see people posting studies while claiming the studies say something they don't. All to fit a political ideology.

Why are vaxtards allowed to shut down the peer review process of the scientific method just because they are afraid of some /pol/ boogeyman and it hurts their feelings to think that they may have made a bad decision based on incomplete information?

Not him, nor OP, but I believe he's partially right. On Reddit you aren't allowed to question any official narrative and you would get downvoted or banned. On here every sort of half baked vaguely supported idea is talking about and encouraged as it's some ground breaking theory that will shake the foundations of establishment. There's no middle ground.

4chan is nonprofit, mods don't get paid based on engagement, some of them don't even get paid, many are volunteers due to the perceived sense of power that comes with the moderator status.

Are we not allowed to talk and freely debate about the seemingly widespread negative effects of the heavily promoted vaccine that was almost required in some places to live a semblance of a normal life?

>> No.15120743

>>15120733
Nonprofit doesn't mean they aren't interested in revenue. Mods have a vested interest in keeping engagement of this site high, even if they don't get paid, they want people be active on which they can exercise their deluded sense of power. Is there's no controversy and heated discussion there's nothing they have to moderate and therefore lose their """"jobs""" and their coveted power.

>> No.15120750

>>15120743
Wrong, they mainly just have to purge the illegal, unwanted, and otherwise rule breaking posts or face potential legal action, engagement barely factors in unless you are simply engaging to push threads to bump limits or doing other sketchy behavior that needs to be moderated.

That's what they have to do. It doesn't exclude what they can also do.

Because on 4chan you have the freedom to be an idiot and /pol/tards sometimes abuse this freedom.

>> No.15120763

>>15120755
It still has nothing to do with revenue being tied to the need to drive up engagement or any of your other claims since engagement actually costs bandwidth which actually reduces revenue.

The freedom to be an idiot, have your ideas debated and their value tested all in anonymity is a great value, it means you won't retain such an emotional attachment to something.when you reealise it to be wrong, you'll just drop it.

No you don't. You see people promoting different interpretations and presenting alternative views from datasets that make you uncomfortable. It's somewhat ironic that your views are antithetical to the underpinnings of the scientific world.
>>15120729
We have specific content that is nsfw, so clearly we are in a middle ground of sorts. Arbitrary categorization of dissenting views just leads to that kind of reddit hellhole you described. Ops solution is to toughen up, to hide the threads and filter keywords, or to fuck off.

Because antivaxx part if the scientific discourse. If you blindly took the covid vaccines you're a moron. Conversely, there are some vaccines which work. Just because something is a vaccine doesn't make it intrinsically good or bad. People like you are just as "bad" as antivaxxers but we need people on both sides to keep the discourse going.

Ok so the reason YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and those other platforms use algorithms in order to drive up engagement and make you stay on their website for as long as possible is so they could reduce their revenue?
