Our data may prove helpful to false news dissemination studies as we analyze the links users share on the platform, finding that many communities rely on alternative news press, like Breitbart and GatewayPundit, for their daily discussions.
We get it. You want us to lick the Big Brother boot harder and only read Ministry of Truth approved corporate sources. The New York Times never peddles disinfo and fake news, right? It's not like they cheered on the nation to war multiple times with lies and fabrications.
But some dude in Nebraska thinking for himself? This is a national emergency!

They're obviously extremely biased, but they also get some things just plain wrong
It is known that users in alt-right social networks avoid sharing the direct link to a website and prefer an archive link instead to avoid monetizing the website
Not exactly. Many times archives are used so there is a record of what was posted because news outlets often make stealth edits after publishing or have to remove articles due to lawsuits.

Archive links are really common on lefty commie sites too. I think it's both sides tend to see through the bullshit of the political establishment and not trust corporate media but reach opposite conclusions. Horseshoe theory of politics in action.
Interestingly, this is one area where diversity of thought is needed. All the "diversity and inclusion" and "affirmative action" bullshit totally misses the point: adding people of different skin colors or genitals doesn't help anything. What you need is different perspectives and ideas. If psychologists, sociologists, women's studies departments weren't such echo chambers of political leftists, they could have written a better paper by including the things you are pointing out.

Trying to point out the usefulness of diversity of thought to the diversity of color/sex/sexuality crowd would likely end up with you being hit with a bike lock

Notably, it doesn't look like Voat actually used very many archive links

People researched hundreds of my shitposts. Incredible.
A study on deepfakes finds that pornographic deepfakes are mainly created for cir- culation within the community. The study uses data from Voat’s /v/DeepFake
This work was partially funded by the UK EPSRC grant EP/S022503/1 that supports the UCL Cen- tre for Doctoral Training in Cybersecurity
Money well spent I see.

Turns out that Amazon and Microsoft helped fund the grant for this paper. Your shitposts have made it to the big leagues now.

Perhaps someday some poor student will be analyzing the phuks dataset, seeking insights into the early origins of vegetable hate crimes.

Link to the page with the dataset they used, which starts in Nov 2013. There were already searchable voat archives, so nothing shocking about the dataset, but just imagine if your university white paper is based on studying Voat posting habits...
Also, SBBH gets referenced in one of their charts, but not SDBH :(
