Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Let me know if you ever find an entertainment review medium that isn't actually comprimised ok. If you do, I bet it's crowdsourced, not made by a company.
RedLetterMedia
Clearly in the pockets of Big Pizza Roll.
Red Letter Media is like working class Roger and Ebert. When they discuss things they do a great job of clarifying their personal preferences separate from their criticisms.
Or YMS
I would agree with you to until I saw the cobweb review last night. That movie is absolutely garbage, I think they are getting some kind of kick back
Crowdsourced won't work either since the crowd is compromised.
It costs pennies a review to get a bot army going.
If you want a real answer find a YouTuber with a moderate following that you enjoy and listen to them.
There are plenty of them that are genuinely fun to watch but not big enough that studios try to influence them. They are also all Canadian for some reason.
I don't watch youtubers, fuck Google sorry
Use ad blockers so you're just a drain on their servers.
Piped, friend. Watch Youtube without supporting google.
