It's not about the production cost, its about the opportunity cost.

A quick google search tells me a national ad costs $200k-$1m for a 30s slot. That means 5 seconds of screen time costs $30k-$150k.

I dont have an alternate source. I think the bot should be banned.

Boston Globe is left-center? Yikes, more misinformation from the conservative bot.

I'm not sure if they are a russian shill, but unfortunately they are telling the truth. Democrats have often employed the pied piper strategy, and it has come back to bite them a few times.

It was probably most famously used when Hillary Clinton boosted Trump, because he seemed to be the weakest Republican primary candidate at the time. How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately "elevated" Donald Trump with its "pied piper" strategy

Democrats are still boosting and supporting extremist Republicans now. The risky strategy Democrats are using to win elections

Because the source of its output is rightwing garbage, and the bot spams every post here.

The bot has no opinion, but its owners have an agenda.

Your data does not logically lead to your conclusion, because the polls cited naturally bifurcated the responses into two (or three) camps.

It's like if I did a poll asking: "what is your favorite color, purple or yellow?" and then said this proves that 50% of respondents' favorite color is purple. We are discounting the opinions of orange and green lovers.

So it sounds like theres 3 steps here:

1. Campaign receives large donation from wealthy donor
2. Campaign spins up an advertising campaign, encouraging potential donors by saying they will get matched from funds in step 1
3. Campaign receives donation from small donor.

Yeah that kinda sounds like bs to me. There are 2 donations, and an advertising campaign. No extra money is generated by the "match".

A different dataset would be an improvement, but you will have an uphill battle getting it changed.

This bot is created and operated by the admins here at lemmy.world and they appear to have a financial stake in MBFC.

Wow, the stupid bot thinks NBC news is left center too? Ridiculous.

NPR is left center too? Lol

MBFC is garbage propaganda.

Why even post if you're going to add no information?

Worthless bot should be banned.

Omfg the stupid misinformation bot thinks CBS news is left-center lmao

Why even post if you're going to include absolutely no information?

What a garbage bot.

Misinformation bot thinks ABC news is left center lmao.

Sadly the only reason its here is because lemmy.world admins are being paid by mbfc :(

Misinformation Bot For Chuds

You keep suggesting that I am uninformed and unresearched, so please correct me if I got any of the facts wrong.

You keep suggesting that my criticism is just a loud cry, but this is just hand waving the problem away. You have failed to directly address any of my concerns.

To add to my list of cocerns, here is a new one: Have you or any other LW mods/admins been paid by MBFC?

Wow so you're telling me mbfc isn't staffed by volunteers, instead they are trying to get paid by subs and ad revenue?

The more I learn about mbfc the worse it gets.

Wow you continue to surprise me, I would have never expected this kind of communication to come publically from a mod.

I think I have made my criticisms of MBFC fairly clear, and your characterization of my criticisms is an obvious strawman.

But since I have your attention, let me try to rephrase the problem: Lemmy was built on principles of open source, transparency, freedom of speech, and community input. The MBFC bot does not follow any of these principles.

In it's current form, the MBFC bot is a stain on the integrity of LW. I urge you to make a change.

The community has largely made their voice heard on the subject, as evidenced by the large number of downvotes on the bot and on your posts here. I urge you to listen to them.

I think you're splitting hairs here.

The difference between "aiding and abetting" and "comitting" are vanishingly small. Both crimes deserve the most severe condemnation, both crimes deserve the most severe punishment.

Wow I had no idea the LW team made this bot, how disappointing.

Do the consistant downvotes on the bot give you any concern that you are making a mistake here?

I always thought of LW as the "default" sub here on Lemmy, but all of this: the rightwing bot itself, 'please block the bot instead of downvoting', the thinly veiled threats of ban; all of it is pretty strong evidence you are attempting to cultivate an ideological echo chamber here.

Anyway, I'll continue to do my civic duty and downvote the misinformation bot whenever I happen to see it.

Thanks
