Lily Alice is a koreaboo whose entire MDL watchlist is made up of k-dramas. And you seriously think she's doing…
(1) For the sake of public record, ZLH is not my "idol." I don't have any idols. As a C-drama fan, I support him to the extent that I'd support any other C-drama actors.
(2) I honestly didn't mean to insult you. Admittedly, I was less than tactful in the heat of the argument, which I regret.
(3) No one said that comparisons are equivalences. I just thought that the analogy was kind of bizarre, given that the behavior of the Trump cult is a serious matter and that of the ZLH fanbase or pr team isn't (to me at least). Not to mention, this isn't the analogy that I found most problematic. It was your attempt to compare yourself with the Epstein victims.
(4) Actually, the semiconductor chips are relevant to China-Taiwan relations. Given that the US has pressured the Dutch semiconductor company ASML to restrict exports of its EUV lithography machines to China, it is very difficult for China to (high-yield) mass-produce chips as tiny, dense, and energy-efficient as those manufactured by Taiwan's TSMC, which is also being pressured by the US to restrict its exports to China. Basically, there are too many moving parts to ASML's EUV technology for China to reverse-engineer equally effective lithography machines.
To make a long story short, this gives Taiwan (and by extension, the US) leverage in their negotiations with China. But this is neither here nor there with respect to the ZLH situation.

The fact that you're seriously comparing alleged ratings data manipulation of a TV show with the well-documented Epstein serial criminality that caused real & enduring physical & psychological harm to female minors, among other victims, proves that you're delulu. If only you knew how many times I've posted "Release the Epstein files!" on social media.
Oh, I said that Lily Alice was the one regurgitating stuff, not you. Try reading what I wrote instead of reading what you think I wrote.
Even if I'm throwng "high falutin" words at you (in other words, what I'm saying is going over your head), how exactly does that make me one of the alleged "data manipulators?" I couldn't manipulate the data even if I wanted to; I'm just a regular cdrama fan.
I regret actually assuming you were arguing in good faith. Lesson learned. I won't waste any more time with you. Feel free to get in the last word...because I definitely got the last laugh.
I keep coming back here with the hope of the rating going back to what it should be. But I do realize that it's…
Yes, exactly. Especially since the drop was so sudden and precipitous. But more importantly for the time being, each additional rating will result in diminishing returns.
Not to mention, a perfect 10 rating can only do so much, but not nearly as much as a 5 or lower rating would. Even a 6 rating would do slightly more damage than a 10 rating would help.
Sigh… MDL still haven’t cleaned up all the junk ratings that crashed ratings from 8.5-8.6 to 8.1 in less than…
At this point, it's highly unlikely that MDL is going to do anything about it. Not to mention, it's hardly implausible that MDL might prefer it this way because it drives more traffic to this site than fair & accurate ratings would.
Lily Malice trying her hand at geopolitical discussion is beyond ridiculous. And just pls leave just Zhang Linghe…
There isn't a single C-drama on her watchlist, so I wonder if she's ever actually seen one. This would, however, explain her ignorance and blatant bias.
Oh, and this isn't the first time she's weighed in on geopolitics. She's done so more than once, which is how I originally got the unpleasant acquaintance with her work.

Oh, and it's not as if she's spinning some sort of narrative to enhance ZLH 's image. Here she's just regurgitating stuff (like the whole Foundation General controversy) that I've seen elsewhere.
The thing is, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The fact that you're making such claims without sufficient evidence is how conspiracy theories start. And the reason conspiracy theories start is because true probability is, for the most part, counterintuitive due to evolutionary psychological pressures. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Bayes Theory. But the idea, is that dependent on how we establish our priors (due to personal experiences and biases), our estimation of the baseline rate can widely vary which will lead to widely differing conclusions that are difficult to adjust in light of new evidence. Just check below thread and you'll see that most people drew complete different and opposing conclusions than you did, which is why I responded to your post in the first place because I was so surprised by it. A general rule of thumb to objectively assess situations is to apply Occam's Razor, establish good priors by looking at the whole body of work and evidence in question (here that would be Lily Alice's entire article archives & watchlist) to avoid confirmation and survivorship biases due to (intentional or unintentional) cherry picking of available data.

I'm guessing because ZLH is actually popular, so any article that's good or bad is going to drive traffic to this site. Right now, there's not much potentially bad takes. When there are, she's not going to hold back. Or, do you think all that "Foundation General" stuff is supposed to make ZLH look good?? (pun intended)

Are you saying that ZLH's pr team has infiltrated MDL? Or that MDL editors have been ZLH apologists all along?

Hope you have positive thoughts, too!
She definitely took a deep breath to be able to say both things at once, but I truly wonder what kind of thoughts occupy her head.

Apparently, it left her speechless because I haven't heard back yet.
