If you have to rely on a news source’s veracity, I would not rely on the veracity of Vice and Business Insider, to put it mildly. And “New York Times bestselling author” is a marketing blurb, not a reputation for reporting the truth.

I’ve never once seen a worthwhile article come out of Business Insider and yet yours is the first negative opinion I’ve ever seen expressed about it. Maybe because most don’t click inside to know that the titles are invariably clickbait compared to the actual bulk of the article? I don’t know.

What? Business Insider has always been known as a low-value clickbait website AFAIK. Maybe people don't talk about it much because it's assumed?
