I don’t fully understand. I doubt if anyone would actually say that they were interested in pseudoscience.

I’m afraid that, based on what I like to read, some idiot (or program) might label me as interested in pseudoscience.

Heavier than air flight was once thought of as pseudoscience. Plate tectonics was pseudoscience. Ball lightning was listed in my elementary school science book as a superstition.

@FearlessFly It’s an interesting discussion but how does it relate? The money end I suppose. You can make money by selling far-out new agey products to gullible people.

I don’t do Facebook anyway, so it’s of no concern to me. I agree that “pseudoscience” should not be a legitimate category for targeting people. But you can be highly interested in metaphysics or new technologies such as Cold Fusion without being gullible.
