  • From what I’ve seen so far, a number of reasons:

    1. It’s not overly accurate, with a tendency to report from a basis of American centrism as though that’s the sole metric to measure what is left and right. I assume they decided they had to pick something to base it off of, but even a lot of Americans take issue with what an American centrist considers left-wing.

    2. It’s a bot, and some folks hate those enough to downvote it every time rather than block it.

    3. Some folks prefer to decide for themselves what’s credible. I’ve also read comments saying they don’t like that there’s no disclaimer — plenty of people get riled when something is presented as though it’s the sole arbiter of truth.

    I’ve probably missed plenty, too.
