Have you ever stopped listening to or trusting a person who posts information in media, or online because of a "red flag" ?

That is are there certain topics, habits, actions etc. that instantly decrease your trust in a person you might have otherwise listened to on a podcast, article, or video?

@EPIKURAS The issue is not time zones, it's time standards: time passes more quickly on the Moon due to General Relativity, so the Moon needs its own time standard. Also, the Earth rotates relative to the Moon so there is no preferred Earth time zone.

@EPIKURAS Again, time zones are not the issue here. Please read the article.
