To be fair, almost everything on ZH is predicting catastrophe - ZH is rife with prepper-flavored "this is the big one" reports on things like FEMA operations, rumors of potential false flag attacks, and of course various financial instrument movements. 99% of what ZH says is the end of all things fades into nothingness.

ZH is the canonical example of a correct-twice-daily broken clock.

Exactly this! Thank you. ZeroHedge almost seems to be designed to induce anxiety and spread disinformation.

If it was not designed that way, there's certainly an incentive for that behavior to evolve.

The question is if we want to prevent all news sources from evolving into that.

It does what it says on the tin -- zero hedge.

Oh for sure. They’re a bunch of lunatics. If you assume the worst four times a day you’re going to be correct sooner or later.
