I have a bunch of heuristics - but broadly speaking a new domain + a new good looking site. ie: some legit pages, legit socials, and some real owner/purpose behind it.
Yea there is some spam stuff for sure... working on improving filtering it out...
I get most of it, but I think especially around the holiday some stuff is getting through... Some black friday deals were actually hitting like news does...
You can kinda tell based on the distribution. Organic spread has less similarity between articles, less syndication, more spread out in timeline of releases...
Yea I feel you... Honestly I kinda just whipped this thing up in context of a larger project I'm working on.. so i have not given much thought to who it will serve. "rooting out bias" is interesting idea... But a bit negative in nature, I was more hoping to identify & highlight the original/powerful sources of news...
