What is this newbie OP doing, re-printing the entire article in a post to his own thread of the same article? This is a pattern with this OP, in all of the threads he has created, going all the way back to October 2016, his join date. His “comment” post always begins with the word “rest:” followed by a reprint of the complete text of the article.
We all know the reason for requiring a URL address to an article when creating an FR thread is so Freepers can access the article and read it for themselves. So WHY would the OP re-print the entire text of the article in a “comment”?
Looks to me like this may be a “bot” set up for payment for the repetitive hits it gets as a result of re-posting on FR, also for some kind of return to the OP if an article’s text is re-printed as part of the creation of that new thread.
Won’t be the first time I’m wrong in a posting on FR, but this thing smells like a set-up to me.
Sorry for the interruption.
There are no repetitive hits made if the rest of the article is posted in comments. If people don’t have to click through to read, no clicks = no revenue.
He’s doing that so as to provide the full content here
so that people don’t have to click on his blog.
Works for me, more power to him.
