Eco-Bot: Exposing climate change disinformation and corporate greenwashing (eco-bot.net)

I really like this concept, but the site is pretty abysmal. The tone of delivery is overly dramatic.

Wow, this really "exposes" those big fossil companies trying to promote their own interests - who knew they would do something like that?

The latest post available is around 2 weeks old. That's a perfectly acceptable time window for manual reviews, but I would definitely not call that a "bot" that acts "near real-time".

Blinking lights? Smoothly increasing numbers? Green colors all over the place? ECO-Bot? Isn't this site guilty of visual greenwashing, and "tech-washing" as well?

Edit: whoa, I think their "data drops" page has invented the new "worst date format imaginable":

Wow, disregarding the content (which is excellent!), the UI/IX of the site is amazing. Congrats tk the developers.
