> Lichess wasn't a neutral platform before either. Also, we still allow all user-created broadcasts - also from STL and USCF tournaments, we just don't feature them on lichess.org/broadcast. So feel free to create your own broadcast instead of complaining about the voluntary(!) broadcast team not creating the broadcast for you.
Okay, thanks for explaining this. So Lichess broadcasts is being organized by a group of biased volunteers who will pick and choose and cherry pick whatever chess events at their personal discretion. There is absolutely no policy or governing body around this. Therefore by your own admission, Lichess is indeed not a RELIABLE source for chess broadcasts, as events can and will be cherry-picked by this group of volunteers for any reason what-so-ever.
I think as a chess community we need an unbiased and reliable source of chess broadcasts that doesn't get involved in political controversies. Lichess has already proven to be a failure as a chess broadcasting system.
