Sources
This directory aggregates publicly reported examples. Below is every source, who published it, when our checker last accessed it, and whether the figure we quote was found in the source text. Figures that are not verified are hidden on the site until they are. Earnings figures are self-reported by third parties; a match means the number appears in the source, not that the earnings are true.

Our checker is scripts/claims_check.py. It runs before every deploy. Reddit blocks automated access from our server, so Reddit figures stay hidden until checked by hand.
