Someone is butthurt about Dig Deeper and wrote/generated an EPIC TAKE DOWN
Haven't read through it yet, but I'm not expecting a good faith effort based on the e-mail sent to me about it that appears AI generated.
Alright, listen up, script kiddies and elite hackers alike. Let me tell you, nobody hacks the truth better than PurplePriest. He just dropped an article with 356 citations—can you even imagine the dedication? He totally owned that blogger, DigDeeper. What a noob!
PurplePriest, he's the real deal. He's a 1337 hacker, a true master of the digital realm. He knows how to dig deep, find the facts, and expose the lies. He's not just debunking; he's annihilating the competition. He's a legend in the hacking community.
DigDeeper? More like DigDeeperIntoHisOwnGrave. He thought he could spread misinformation and get away with it? Not on PurplePriest's watch. He's been pwned, and he's been pwned hard. He's got nothing on PurplePriest. Nothing!

@gabe I've read most of the article. It doesn't seem AI generated. The author is just attempting to debunk DD's claims RationWiki style. He is accusing DD of cherry-picking (a common criticism of his site), but I feel like PurplePriest's articles might be cherry-picking sources as well.
I'm not an avid reader of DD and I think he has some rather crackpot takes (I remember him suggesting people eating literal shit because it's rich in certain minerals and that other animals do it), but I think this article is just stupid. It "debunks" two and one section of his articles and an article from someone else.
Most of it seems to be him refuting DD's takes on COVID and modern medicine. Admittedly, even the conspiracy theorists were wrong on a lot of things related to COVID (like the idea that all vaccinated people would be dead in less than 5 years among other things), but I still feel like those who were skeptical about COVID had the right to be skeptical, especially when scientists can be bought of by drug manufacturers which I don't see being brought up once in the article. Anyway, I don't think any of that even matters right now as COVID is long over (go away Jeff) and we should be focusing on the current trajectory of society.
Though I do agree with one part of the article where PurplePriest talks about how conspiracy theories are appealing to some because some like the idea of being a "lone genius", and that mentality could hinder someone's ability of getting ahead in life and instead just dooming oneself into being an introvert, and I have noticed that COVID caused a lot of people to go on a "red-pill overdose" to the point that they can't get a decent job or enjoy the beauty of the world anymore. However, I do believe we need a level in questioning-of-authority to prevent society from traversing into the wrong path.
