(as a pro-sentence) Perhaps that is true (expressing no commitment to a decision or a neutral viewpoint to a statement).

  • “What’s going on with all the posts about factory farming? I’ve been seeing tons of posts about this in the last week or two, mostly about pigs. But maybe 3-5 posts a day on big subreddits about animals in factory farms. Is there something I’m missing? Why are there so many posts about this all of a sudden? https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/436Y73lbAU”
