      But how is it on a blog site? I still don’t understand the last leap of logic in your chain of thought. When confronted, you reiterate that it is a blog, even though you know it is an article from a reputable news organisation, then you say but it’s on a blog site, when it is not, then you loop back. It’s not a blog, not on a blog site, it’s domain is not a blog domain. What makes it a blog exactly?

        A blog site is a host of personal opinion. It’s an online diary. Some of it is interesting and useful, most of it is not, none of it is journalism or news.

        If a journalist is sharing space with blogs, we aren’t going to allow any of it, because we aren’t going through every fucking author going “is this one valid? What about this guy talking about how their dog just took a dump? How about this guy convinced robots are stealing his luggage?”

        Same reason we don’t allow bullshit social media like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc.

        There’s too much content to say what’s valid for the community and what’s not.

        Does the New York Times have a Twitter account? Sure. Do we allow it? No, because fuck you Twitter. Does the Washington Post have a Facebook account? Sure. Do we allow it? No, because fucking Facebook.

        The same goes for Substack, Blogger, Blogsite, etc. We don’t care who is doing the writing. It’s not a valid source.
