CNET has been spam for a long time

Any news site using Chatbots to right their articles should not be trusted.

I learned that Wikipedia has a "reliable sources" table thanks to this. I'll check it out.

I can't recall a time when I went to Cnet to read re tech. I get tech stuff from Youtube and Verge.

The Wikipedia folks didn't demote Cnet after 1 week of discussion. Not 1 month. Not 6 months. Were they giving Cnet time to change for the better?
