| Dear YouTube Alternative Media List your damn sources I am infuriated by the amount of videos I watch that are fairly informative and I think ooh I would like to follow up on that and see if they're not taking this information out of context and I find every time in the about section there are no links to all of the articles that have been screenshotted in the video I just watched. | |
| It means I can't investigate it for myself and I can't confirm it. | |
| If I can't confirm it, I cannot take you seriously. | |
| I can only ever do with you like I do with the mass media and assume you're full of shit. | |
| Posting a screen grab of an article that shows the headline you want to show doesn't help. | |
| This is surely rule one of online journalism. | |
| This is surely the cardinal principle. | |
| Give everyone the information you had so they can confirm your interpretation. | |
| Hoarding your sources is part of the old media. | |
| The only way anything you say can become credible is if you freely give the sources that you drew your conclusions from. | |
| To prove you are transparent and honest, give us the information. | |
| Yes, we could all go to Google and type in the headlines and find it and then read it, but no one's gonna do that. | |
| Clicking on a link is far easier and people are much more inclined to do that. | |
| Therefore you will have corroborating voices and opinions. |
