The lack of A's to this Q is telling! So many think being an individual means being subjective

"Isn't that funny, H/T?" Yes if by funny you mean to refer to how learning as you go is interesting to note. Good nontrivial Q's help us all to do that! So do good nontrivial A's! help us all do that!

The source (or multiplicity thereof) of your information does not constitute or implicate you as a subjectivist, or an objectivist...or otherwise. It's amazing how differentially the same information is processed amoungst us. Much to my chagrin, I must say! Take Erwin Chemerinsky, for example. He and I will reach the opposite conclusions while processing the same information. I can't definitively constitute a response to this question for the deliberative community-at-large. Too many possible "perspectives" are available.
ADDITION:
The more I thought about this, I realized that I started by saying the answer is no...but then unwittingly finished with a statement confirming a "yes" because the way I stated it subsumed objectivism into subjectivism by saying it's just another one of the perspectives out there. Isn't that funny, H/T?
I guess it was a harder Q than I thought!

Oh you again! I didn't look to see who asked LOL
Yeah, man, you look for more than just what is swiriling around in your head. You look for truths where the metaphysics has an epistemological grounding in empirical existence. Seeking the essence of that grounding is wherein lies the proof of the pudding. Every idea has an essence, and if you think you know it, I'll bet you can learn from others that you are wrong, that the essence can be condensed further.
That makes it objectivist, not subjectivist. You are the subject: it is the object.
