I always thought the ratings were based on a community or a team of people deciding based on hard criteria. Shame..

Yeah, I think it's very deceptive in how it markets itself. I think the only reason you see it so much in sites like lemmy and reddit is it went viral during the 2016 US election, where discussions of "fake news" and media bias really took off for the first time and people have just been trusting it ever since.
