This is a generic comment of course, but anyone else feeling immediate distrust when data is presented in an obvious vibe design. Ideally one should distrust any data on random websites to begin with, but at least my human psychology deducted many extra points here.

I think data is fine, especially since the LLM will go to great lengths to site it's sources. Blog posts on the otherhand...

At least a blog post (potentially) contains original thought or analysis . This site on the other hand is basically rehashing the same content as the government source. It could have been replaced with a link and the only thing we would have lost was the italics and beige background

Thats true. I wasn't considering that they aren't really doing anything novel with the information, just using it as way to harvest emails or relay the information..

Yeah, personally I would be shocked if this wasn't like botted or something to make it onto the front-page. It's not much further from blogspam in how little effort has been put into presenting this particular page. Just head over to the home page and behold the default Claude design and ridiculous $150/yr plan haha.

And I'm not even sure where the part is on the site detailing this '23% fall' mentioned in the title is. Cause there certainly isn't any historical data provided on the page...
