I'm wondering why my question got downvoted. I've had this happen before when asking questions. Could it be a matter of a couple of readers not assuming benign intent? As in, someone thinks I'm not actually asking a question but making a statement and they don't agree with the statement. Either way it's interesting.

Perhaps the more likely to be read as benign version would be this: We all agree site A is bad because it's misaligned (which I think all agree is due to being driven by ads). Then we propose that site B is good - but there's no indication about WHY site B is good. We know why site A is bad, but why is site B good. And more specifically since we're describing the value in terms of alignment, what alignment is there in site B that drives the goodness?
