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.

You could file a feature request, or a pull request if you want to get a little deeper into it.

Or i can just request that the science communities have rules? Like tf yall lol. I don't want a new service, and I don't want a new app. I've noticed a considerable amount of people also wish this was a rule, so can we focus on making this community better before giving up and going somewhere else?

I think you're right, since it's a lot of duplicated work if everyone has to do these filtering tasks for themselves, so blocking isn't an ideal solution here.
