    They make money just by adding to their page view count. Because then they can justify charging advertisers higher rates.

      That’s how it used to work, but ad companies haven’t counted page views in a decade. It’s about ad views. That is why so many sites have the stupid ad blocker popup so you can’t see their content with a blocker on. Of course you can just disable javascript on the site settings to stop that.

        Is it really worth assuming that everyone here has an ad blocker and a javascript blocker? Because otherwise you’re generating revenue for the Murdochs, aren’t you?

        If you want to give a conservative perspective, I can’t believe there is no better source than the New York Post.

          I would hate trying to be online without one.
