>Snopes is an institution with a specific goal
And that goal is... posting stuff people are interested in.

Just gonna copy and paste this reply, cuz this exact question keeps being asked.
There is a distinction between 'all of Snopes' and 'things Snopes definitely got correct'.
The authors are very clear about making this distinction.

You seem to have trouble with the distinction between all of Snopes and things Snopes definitely got correct.
The authors are very clear about making this distinction.

I can wish people were not obsessed with the Kardashians.
You can wish Snopes didn't write about farts.
Ultimately, the world is a better place when we don't get to decide what other people enjoy or do with their time.
