Pointless criticism. It's like all the numbers. Rather than resorting to boring ad hominem, why not express a reason why these do not hold? Especially in a mostly post-fact society.

There's nothing saying that these are not good tools for your critical thinking toolbox.

I just find it unlikely that a random blog story about being skeptical gets upvoted 18 times without a single comment in 20 minutes.

There was a similar website posted about 20 minutes ago with no attribution similarly upvoted quickly with no comments.

18 times is.. not that many. But hey, I just upvoted it, here's a comment to prove my authenticity.

It's a lot for a random blog, that frankly doesn't say a whole lot of unique or interesting things or come from a respected source, and it's not new. The timing in the pushing of the narrative that the chemical bombing in Syria was a false flag kind of went hand-in-hand in my assessment that this was not "organic".

Meh, I'll adjust my tinfoil hat.
