And a Focus about it:

https://de.sott.net/article/31052-Lob-Zeit-sagt-Sott-net-zahlt-hinter-der-AfD-zu-den-groten-Meinungsmachern-Danke

where a reader says:

I find your site great and read them every day regularly for several months and have often recommended you. Your articles are well-balanced, and do not treat the ufology as a subject of leprosy but with due seriousness, I was judged as extremely positive, everyone who is seriously concerned with this Tehamkomplex will agree with me. Excessive AFD Lobhudelei I have here can not establish and also no Muslim Bashing, which is a pronounced religious-mindedness. In the meantime, the extreme left ZEIT, on the other hand, I have not read for a long time, the conspiracies and lretries and rotations of truth I am not performing in the one-time, unimportant MAG since Helmutsschmidts change into the beyond.

Another comment there:

"ventilating rightist thinking" - absurd, once again the typical bashing..

Even people who are new to the website, can see right a way that "ventilating rightist thinking" is total nonsense. Shows again: Zeit is a really pathetic mouthpiece of the psycho establishment.

Like some others, I also noticed that Die Zeit has deleted many reader comments - even comments which have been posted as replies to those comments which were deleted in the first place. These kinds of measures doesn't left anyone wondering, why so many readers turn away from mainstream outlets like this one and results like this one turn up. So, indeed, they are shooting themselves in both knees even.

To be fair, Die Zeit is one of just a few major German newspapers that allows reader comments. The deleted comments usually contain insults and in general the censorship is not that strict. You can call them "fake news" in the comments and they won't delete it, if you provide a good argument on why you disagree with their article.

Basically, their comment section is a good place to spread some of the less controversial red pills to a larger audience. And they do try to be as neutral as possible, even towards AfD positions and things like that, though of course within certain constraints. I've seen discussions there on whether 9/11 was an inside job and it wasn't censored either.

[Redrock12]

I always knew it. SOTT Rocks! And major kudos to German SOTT for a job exceptionally well done!

 

[Woodsman]

Well, that's good to hear!

I think I'll start promoting SOTT more deliberately myself.

 

[Gwenllian]

Well done SOTT and congratulations to the German team! Onwards and upwards, immer.

Thanks for offering your balancing view, axj! As I hardly read Die Zeit, I am not really in a position to assess the commentary policy there. But then, as I see it, many people experience and / or perceive deletion / censoring of information (like in comments) from big news outlets including Die Zeit since quite some time. And you don't have a chance to see for yourself what these comment held since they are deleted already. So that leaves some sense of insecurity with me, since I think I might have picked up on a wrong perception, while my feeling also tends be that some important information may be censored while some other is left (so that it doesn't really look like censoring). Again, this feeling could be wrong (it can neither really be verified nor falsified).

Whatever it may be in the end, it's positive if red pill information comes through, as you state it. And it's also positive that we got feedback from them in a roundabout way regarding our work on SOTT :)

As for german SOTT alone; this facebook website published a list of the most popular german alternative websites (based on alexa stats) back in January, which looks as follows. How reliable that statistic from alexa is and on what criteria it is based, is another question:
