It depends on which majority you're talking about.

I think the more balanced sentiment (which I've seen across my friends and a couple "KOLs") is that -- it's a trash tabloid, and it's also fighting for freedom and democracy. It's both, and given the current situation it is in, most people are willing to overlook its past as a trashy tabloid and voice support for it.

(IMHO that doesn't make it less trash though.)

Majority of Hong Kong.

Can’t quite get how balanced the sentiment is as seen from your friends and… KOLs? Seriously?

Most people have always supported Apple Daily, not just because of the situation. And honestly I’ve never heard of anyone referring it as trashy tabloid, I mean… even those who oppose it know it is a proper newspaper.
