Whether they are effective or not is definitely in question, but they are unquestionably intended to be informative. If they irritate you, you have the ability to exercise your right to block them.
You being annoyed at something you don’t like isn’t a reason to not have it.

There is a big difference between “informative” and “unsuccessfully intended to be informative” and the latter ought not to exist.

Opt in is better than opt out. Rather than asking every user who hates the bot (i.e. most users) to block it, better to provide something that can be subscribed to by those who want it.

That thread was filled with people downvoting anyone who even attempted to disagree. It was also full of people claiming bias and then not backing it up with a single source, link to offending pages, etc. so yeah no wonder it was full of people saying they hated it. Anyone who said otherwise (like myself) got fucking reamed.
This user is literally lying about what the thread contains! holy shit the level of gaslighting and misinformation is insane! How can you function!?!?!

Here’s the thread that’s full to the brim with evidence of bias. Read it for yourself instead of listening to this liar.
