Stop being obtuse (pretending to be naive) and just do your own research.

You’re responding to a type of comedy bit. Rich doesn’t want to post “I think the complaints about libsoftiktok are made up” because explaining why that is isn’t as entertaining as simply making disagreeing with that position as tedious as possible. Rather than trying to convince other people of this position, it is more fun to flat out refuse to do any research at all — and then move the goalposts once somebody fall…

> For example, I actually answered Rich’s last question but didn’t get a reply because it didn’t fit into the bit.

You didn't get a reply because I haven't been on the site.

You also didn't answer my question. You posted a blog post alleging that specific claims had been made. I acknowledged that the allegations seemed serious and asked if the video in question was available to be viewed, to which you simply responded "no."

Saying "you can easily find examples" is disingenuous when many of the examples are making or repeating claims that are either unsourced or with dubious evidence. For example, the linked article seems to omit context that took me "10 seconds" to find.

I love this bit. Have you posted a write up of what you’ve found that indicates that the complaints about libsoftiktok are made up? I’m guessing you have even more links to post in the two days between your posting this on this site:

>I have, and what I've found does not support the claims that people are making.

and your reply to me!

What have you found without accounts on these platforms and how are you confident in what you’ve concluded given that limitation?
