you are making blind claims

You made the claim. Your claim had no evidence. You made a 'blind claim'.

with made up unverifiable data

Prove it.

you're being tricked

Tricked by data from multiple different sources? Prove it.

you could show me tabulation

Go ahead and show me that.

this is a major lack of media literacy on display

You literally don't understand the difference between information and you stating something you want people to agree with. That's not even just a 'media literacy' problem you're having, it's wishful religious thinking.

I'm always fascinated when someone refuses to even explain why they think what they are saying is true, and not only does actual data and evidence not change their mind, they refuse to believe it, but can't even explain why they don't believe it.

Just admit to yourself that what you are saying is not based on reality, it's just something you want other people to agree with.




> Prove it.

That's the trick! no one can because they don't share the data or methodologies!

You are doing the same thing you're accusing me of and what I'm saying is you're right! there's no verifiable data on either side.

My comment and what ziprecruiter is posting are backed by the equivalent amount of factual information, which as far as we can prove is exactly 0!

What I'm saying is only based on my experience, and what you're sharing isn't any better... this is the appeal to authority fallacy.

At least I'm not financially motivated to trick you, they are.


That's the trick! no one can because they don't share the data or methodologies

What is your data and methodology?

Ziprecruiter is a site companies post jobs. You don't know where their data comes from?

What about the other links? Why do you ignore them?

What I'm saying is only based on my experience,

What experience?

the appeal to authority fallacy

Posting data from a company that collects that data is not "appeal to authority". You have this completely wrong. Appeal to authority would be someone claiming your boss is right about something they know nothing about because they're your boss.

Key parts of are lack of expertise and a lack of evidence. These two things don't apply.

Seriously try rethinking this all from the ground up. Go and find someone in your life and show them this conversation and see if they think someone linking you wage stats from a jobs site and two other places and you saying "no I don't think so" are the same thing.

Don't forget that you not only claimed remote workers were "incredibly well paid" but also that they are "eating up real estate in expensive areas". Are you ready to walk that back since you can't do anything but repeat that you believe it for no reason?
