In addition to the explanations already posited, I’d also think there most likely are some people who want to lie, argue disingenuously, and a fact-checker tends to get in the way of their rhetoric.
Can you give an example of someone who ever posted something disingenuous that MediaBiasFactCheck got in the way of?
No I cannot give you an example. I was postulating that it could be a demographic that hates the bot. I don’t think an example cited is necessary to consider this a possible contributor. Relax.
This comment has big "Haitians are eating cats" energy.

Ok you’re being obstinate and clearly just want to be right. So go have it your way.

No it's more like "It's possible that Haitians could be eating cats" energy.
Which, when presented without a shed of evidence, is equally dangerous (as these last few weeks have very clearly demonstrated).
Not everything needs evidence you tightwad. Jesus. Grow up.
Counterpoint: "Fact checkers" with an institutional bias are an excellent way to cover for lies promoted by those institutions
