Reception

In April 2019, Josefjakobs.info, a website dedicated to the life of German spy Josef Jakobs, said that ATI's article about Jakobs was "pretty good" but has two minor errors, such as reporting that Jakobs was arrested in 1939 when he was actually arrested in 1938. [6] In August 2019, fact-checker Lead Stories labeled one of ATI's articles, which talked about Carpenter v. Murphy court case, as fake news due to it misrepresenting the subject. Citing NewsGuard, Lead Stories said the site can still be trusted to maintain journalistic standards. [7]

In November 2020, Cloudeight InfoAve recommended ATI, calling its content "incredibly interesting" and saying that it provides "incredibly interesting reading". [8] All You Can Read described the content of the site as "intriguing, unusual, and thought-provoking". [9]
