Establish a representative council from people all over the world like this project to decide what projects would be usefull. An undefined amount of start-up capital is too much power for a single person to handle responsible so I'd delegate those decisions to as many different people as possible.
OP recently posted an article from the same author on Medium. The headline was something like "15% of content on reddit is by corporate trolls". The article linked to only one source which did not back up any of the claims of the article. I tried searching for another article in the journal and year that the article mentioned it took a study from and there was none related to the topic. My conclusion is that the author fabricates numbers to make their articles more interesting. I also wrote an email to Medium to bring this to their attention but they didn't care about hosting misinformation and told me to contact the author. I don't think it's the audience's job to look up their sources so I'd hazard a guess and say the author is fabricating numbers again.
Yeah. It's teaching how, of the 150 comments that this post had only about three were saying that the study didn't exist. All the others just trusted the medium article blindly.
Yes, the linked study does not substantiate any of the percentage claims made in the article but instead apears to be only related to the article by way of being about trolls. Since the link to the study is in a place where I would expect the link to the study that actually backs the article to be, I think either the author inserted the wrong link by mistake or, which I believe to be more likely since I couldn't find a study that could have been the source of the article in the mentioned journal from that year, the entire article is AI generated and at least partialy made up. The article does not contain the word 'reddit' nor does it contain pictures so even of the experts interviewed, none mention reddit.
I think the author asked ChatGPT to write an article for him. The study he links to does not confirm any of the statistical claims he makes even though the article says it does.
As the study that the author refers to does not seem to exist and he links to a study that does not justify any of the statistical claims of the article, the number is likely fake.
To be fair the linked study does not make that claim nor is it even about reddit. actually it's only relation to the article is that it's about trolling.
Also the study doesn't even talk about reddit content and is about what selected experts' outlook on trolling is. Never does it actually mention reddit
Where is it citing user self reports? The linked study is a collection of opinions of selected experts. It's a qualitative study on expert's opinions not a quantitave one that is based on reddit content or user polls.
