My post was removed as astroturfing. It might be an idea to try and understand meaning of concepts before blasting them around. You will find wikipedia, and many other reputable sources, helpful in this quest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing

My question was a genuine one born out of deep frustration. The name of this community suggests it is for such questions, but what do I understand.

By the way, what’s wrong with you, mods?

    Well, seeing as your post seemed to be much closer to an excuse to post a news article (and one that is particularly iffy sounding at that) rather than an open ended question, I can see why they would have assumed it’d be an attempt at astroterfing.

      Quite how you concluded that my post was an excuse to post a link to BBC is beyond my admittedly limited comprehension. The logic that took you to that conclusion is intriguing, so please do explain.

      You further imply that BBC is an iffy source. For me, that is a devastating perspective. Would you kindly help me find sources that are less iffy, please?
