How these profiles are made

Each profile states only what the person’s own official pages show: the show, channel, podcast, newsletter, book, or publication, and the roles those pages name, with a source for every statement. Profiles report what people make, not what they say or believe: no opinions, predictions, controversies, or follower and audience counts, and never locations, nationality, ages, photos, or personal details. Selection is editorial, is not a ranking or an endorsement, and is never influenced by tips.

To suggest someone, correct a profile, or ask to be removed, email usasi@usasihq.com. Removal requests are honored.
