What are you talking about? It is BY FAR the subreddit with the most consistently throughly cited responses. Comments get removed even just for not having sources.

You are not talking about the same subreddit, please check yourself. Or maybe provide some citations of your own if you're going to say that content of that caliber is "unresearched". I mean who the heck are you??

It’s very clear that the answers aren’t by actual historians as any education in it at all would make people see how awful the answers that get upvoted so very often are
