Hypocrisy and biases on gossip sites???

I've noticed on Pinkvilla, for example, they are very biased towards comments regardless of the article posted or who/what it's about. Not only that, but, if you chose to like or dislike a comment, it will not actually give an up or down vote, but count it less? So if I agree with someone and give it a like *while it's at 4 for example* sometimes it goes to 3 even though logically it should be 5.

While it also seems when you post a comment, it never shows up or some articles don't have any comments at all. I check the site every now and then, but I remember it used to be filled with comments and very interesting to read and engage. Now it just seems so protected?

I also feel, you cannot say anything as the mods there don't give a hoot about what their readers think....?


As of here, I have noticed certain things are censored, people can't discuss certain topics, while others can. Mods seem biased AF and it feels too restricted sometimes. Anyone else feel this way sometimes?

While I'm not saying we should have a free for all way to speak on everything, and things should be handled with respect or at least, keep things fair *maybe asking too much?* but, it would be nice to have a little more openness.

I don't visit PV.I don't know who post there.Anons posting is no fun.I don't know why they allow it.On I-F ,Twitter and other sites, one can at least see,whose comments should be taken seriously.

Wouldn't doubt it. And @you2 I guess that's true. I think what was fun, was to go anonymous and say whatever you wanted without so many people coming for you, as it is here. However, that can be seen as being a coward or whatever. *though here no one knows the real me, just some ID and my comments*
