Unless you are offering some sort of prize, this “win” is pretty empty.
Let me know if you find any good “There is SO a Bigfoot” or “Mainstream science is wrong about unicorns” sites you find, so I can get opposing biases news about cryptozoology.

How did you decide that crypotozoology was false? Likely because you heard a story of bigfoot/unicorns/ and decided to investigate - either by researching it yourself, asking others or both. If you only looked at/heard reports from one side of the issue you would be doing yourself a disservice, for how would you initially know which side to look on? That is exactly how things like racism get passed down generationally - mom and dad said it was so, every source they showed me said it was so, ergo it must be so. I’m not accusing you of such, just pointing out why it is important to review all sides.
In the off chance you are serious, I decided it because I have yet to see a live bigfoot, unicorn, or mermaid. Or even a clear, unambiguous photo of one. I know elephants exist because I can go down to the Washington Zoo and see one. They don’t have a mermaid or unicorn exhibit. I don’t need to go to sites that are on the side of “Yes, there are unicorns” to get all sides of the possible existence of unicorns.
Similarly, I don’t need to go to “anti-vaxxer” websites to determine if vaccines are safe. If vaccines were actually unsafe, I wouldn’t be able to avoid that news. I wouldn’t have to go to fringe websites to find that out.
Or you could think.
“Can a jolly fat man really haul around billions of toys and deliver them all in a single evening? Why does he give worse, cheaper presents to poor kids?”
“Are there any videos of unicorns? Why do they only ever seen to appear in fantasy stories?”
Back in the day, it might have been easier to assume that Bigfoot (Bigfeet?) were just shy and elusive, although one of the questions I had as a youth was “Then how come no one has ever found a dead one, a skeleton, or any actual evidence?”
Nowadays with everyone having a high quality camera on their phone, it becomes even more difficult. NOT ONE QUALITY PICTURE? No great whopping increase in alleged pictures now that every hiker and hunter is carrying a camera on him or her?
But it is Human Nature to assume that there could be unknown stuff in wild and unexplored areas. The statement is entirely true. We find new species every day. They’re just new species of plants and animals that we already know about. There aren’t dinosaurs in the Congo or large, undiscovered bipeds in the woods of North America, or lone, apparently immortal Plesiosauria in Loch Ness.
