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.
