That's a great idea, but the problem is that this web site isn't really a spotlight. Popular YouTubers are the only ones who can really put this out there to the masses.
Part of the problem is some of the popular pizzagate youtubers are putting up false information in our videos. Not only does it discredit our investigation, but it gives fuel to the "fake news" narrative of the MSM. This video is really popular right now and is showcasing a document that was debunked on /r/pizzagate almost a month ago.
I think the problem is that as Pizzagate attracts more attention, there will be some people who will use its momentum as a way of making themselves more famous. And that means they will select their content based upon how many viewers they can get, instead of based on quality. The only solution to this problem that I can think of, is to debunk these videos in their comment section and to give them plenty of thumbs down.
Is it possible to organize a downvote brigade for videos with misinformation? Should I just let it go and focus on something else? It's really weighing on me.
I think that it is weighing on you, because you are passionate about this cause and that is a good thing. It probably won't be easy to organize a lot of people to downvote, but maybe if it's something that you keep at over time, it might begin to snowball. It would be really great for the credibility of this group, that we actually care about accuracy and are willing to challenge people who are exploiting the scandal for personal gains. A great place to start is this recent submission: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1453660

Who would think to do a background check on the guys running Wikipedia?
Nice. Really good investigative work and gives us insight and reasons into why some have a stake in covering this up.
Since they have a hand in this conspiracy, why not turn the spotlight on them?
