Since it's an actively harmful app with a core purpose to subvert critical review of scientific papers and only pull decontextualized snippets, the best thing you could do would be take it down.

This is a tool that is designed only to streamline confirmation bias.

I disagree with your harsh assessment and really your tone. We show citation context, which makes it easy to see how and why a paper has been cited in the literature, including if it has been supported or contrasted by other studies.

With scite, you can see if a paper has been supported/challenged.
Without scite, you only see a list of citing articles.

How does that streamline confirmation bias?

Zero fucks given. The mountain does not care if you believe in it. I don't care if you think I'm an asshole.

Reality doesn't change because you don't like the messenger, douche.
