A nice guide to a lot of the things that make me redflag a website and any credibility it could have, before this list, had.

So you red flag a website for creating more value?

"Creating value" is a vague concept, but from the context we can be pretty sure it entails aggressive self-promotion, which is a nuisance for your audience and does not benefit them. That's why it's a red flag.
