Content Policy
The contents of this website follow four fundamental principles:
- Clarity: We try to use simple language as much as possible to explain complex technical topics to general folks without technical expertise.
- Trustworthiness: We try to be honest and genuine with our content. We follow a scientific approach to proving facts and statistics. We aim to give as much as possible, and ask as little as possible. Our primary aim is to create value for our readers, subscribers, and users.
- Accuracy: We aim for the content of our website to be complete, correct, and verifiable. Wherever necessary, we provide sources and credits. We take pride in the work we do, and try our utmost to do justice to other creators and contributors by crediting them wherever necessary and possible.
- It’s free: We aim to make our content free to access. From our eyes, information and knowledge belongs to everyone. Again, we aim to give as much as possible, and ask as little as possible from our readers, subscribers, and users. In order to fund server hosting and content creation costs, we use the google adsense platform (more on the related privacy policy further down). Furthermore, we are also actively looking for Patrons who wish to support this project.
