My problem with the downvotes and the criticisms is that they don't provide any proof or comparison, they simply say that it's biased and wrong.
At the very least you should be linking examples and comparing against other bias checking sites.
For instance, I immediately disliked biasly.com because the rating system is -100 (Liberal) to 100 (Conservative). I've only compared a single site so far but the rating system alone makes me inclined to believe that the site is biased towards conservative views.
I've seen several replies to the bot pointing out bias. There's nobody dedicated to writing a bot to follow around the bias bot and replying every time.
That makes sense, I just hadn't seen a single post. In a comment above it was stated that posts criticizing the bot are removed, which is possibly why I haven't seen any.
I haven't observed that, but I didn't often visit a comment section twice and I'm certainly not clever enough to notice things missing.
