I wasn't one of the flaggers, but the comment was pretty insubstantial and somewhat inflammatory; I am 0 percent surprised it got flagged.

Edit: every article put on the internet has an agenda. From pushing for vaccines to making the author money to spreading valuable technical information. "Having an agenda" is not cause to not take an article seriously.

If a scientist comes out with a research finding, and you then find out X Corp was backing them, you’d change your confidence on the trustworthiness of the research done. Similar to any op-ed, understanding bias is valuable, and calling out bias with good reasons is useful for the unaware.

Sure. That isn't what the parent-most comment was doing, though. There was no analysis - just blanket dismissal.
