I spent a lot of time working in the user research space and the disconnect between what users told me and what they did was so huge that I just built an AI that watches user sessions and figures out bugs and friction. Works well for like 90% of cases
At least in Germany publicly financed broadcasters and news tend to waste a lot of money and they keep asking for more. I’d much rather have a choice to support organizations I want than to support stuff like Y-Kollektiv or STRG F that produce low quality content and sometimes straight out lie.

After writing my comment I thought about all the influencers and thought 'yeah maybe a good portion ain't really neutral'. It's a bit frustrating, but iirc their cut is something between 1 and 5 cents, right? Which still is too much money, but hey, could be worse than that.
" Don’t sell gigs that will require days of work from you. Like “I will develop a full web application for you, for 5$” or super-tight schedule ones like “I’ll illustrate and design a logo in 1 hour”. "

Is there any study on the consequences of such harassment?
I believe the conclusion to draw from the article is that people can be terrible, and with the advent of the internet people can be terrible in new ways that draw from your past, more easily.
I was working on something similar, but with a database that would contain credibility ratings from users and users would rate the website. The extension was supposed to display the rating and ev. warnings on top of the website.
Sounds like an interesting concept, though it'll need some really careful moderation to stop it getting abused. I've seen sites get low WOT ratings because the staff banned a few members and said members then took it out on their WOT page.
You'll need a good way to stop these negative SEO type attacks from being weaponised against a news site's rating by its competitors.
