I wouldn't bank too heavily on the number of subscribers (or even "hits") in assessing the potential veracity of what you find out there.

I agree it is telling of something... but that "something" can easily be faked by tomfoolery which is only a matter of "cost."

Internet water armies are a real thing... and anyone with the means can make anything at all "look" popular (and accepted.) 

If the government can do it, anyone can.

... just sayin' 

I agree but just to poo poo any source and claim it is MSM and so it should be dismissed is not doing one's due diligence in finding out whether or not the source is credible or not.

I never said I just look at the subscriber numbers...what I look for is actual people on the front lines and/or independent journalists willing to go to the front line to report the realities of war. Although, I have skimmed through many so-called independent military and journalist postings and believe me it does not take long for readers to debunk and discredit them.

The sources on this thread are just that, from the horse's mouth and if MSM has vetted these people and deemed them credible enough to use their reports, then that is another reason why it should not be dismissed.

As for your government doing it, well you have whistle blowers that are brave enough to step forward then are forced ti leave the country because of retribution - the truth comes out, but I digress.

Point in fact, I'll believe any front line Ukrainian soldier's account of what's happening on the front lines because they are there and they know who and what they are battling.
