It's the top comment on all the pop science articles. Can it just officially be a rule? You are all much smarter than I, please help compile a list of known websites that publish explicitly low quality articles, with very little science basis to back up said claims, beyond an extremely shoddy study.

Trying to list them all is a losing proposition.

A list of the worst offenders would help significantly atleast.

However, I did happen to notice this community only has 1 active mod, and they mod other communities as well, so maybe this one just needs some actual love and care.
