Talk:WatchMojo

Neutrality tag

@Vortex3427:, you messaged me directly but replying here so other editors can view this. For example, the lead says "They create a very high volume of short videos with low production costs, particularly enticing Top 10 listicles", with enticing liking to "clickbait", which seems more like criticism. Also the Business and Content section don't seem well organized and maybe essay like. Regards IgelRM (talk) 11:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@IgelRM: Thanks for the response! I'll see what I can do to make it more neutral; I admit that I am personally biased against WatchMojo and think of it as a content farm (which probably has gone into the article), and that I have had a lot of trouble organizing the article. However, I do not see what's essay-like about the Business and Content sections. "Business" gives an overview of their operations, and "Content" gives an overview of how their content has changed over the years, along with reception of that content. I used the quoteboxes as a sort-of stylistic choice, but I am not unsure if they should be there. I also don't know if all of the opinions cited should be there, although I have used academic sources mostly. Should I remove The Daily Dot? I'm not sure if it's reliable enough to be cited (although Luke Winkie is an experienced journalist) and I admit that I may have included it because of my own personal biases.— VORTEX³⁴²⁷ (Talk!) 12:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest tag

It very much seems like the founder is editing this article himself. The music section was especially egregious (see history), and the initial section was added through a temp account where the only other edit was also about him on the Montreal Expos. Other edits done on similar temp accounts seem very suspicious, including the defensiveness on the AI accusation vandalism and previous edits claiming 'truth' over 'bias'.

@Cubnorth: I removed the last three sections because the sources were just not good enough. I don't know what else should be done. — VORTEX³⁴²⁷ (Talk!) 09:01, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

That should do it. I tried to do what I could with the primary sources but there's not much. I would say to leave the tag for just a bit as his (assuming I'm correct that it's him) most recent edits were only a few days ago. Cubnorth (talk) 22:48, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
