Dont fall for the teaser to get you to be a Click Bait junky or another number for this Clickbot poster.
Read Windfliers reply re why this site is to be avoided and not clicked on!
The topics and commentary provided in these postings (while I dont normally go to a source provided) in any event I find welcome andI such complaints frivolous and dismissable.
That attitude is precisely what allows a clickbot like Sean_Anthony to survive and thrive here.
He operates with impunity, because our members can’t see the actual mechanics of his operation. Out of sight - out of mind, as they say.
Have you ever heard the term, monetization? In a nutshell, it’s setting up a website so that it makes money. Primarily, it’s done by building enough traffic so that it becomes an attractive location for advertisers to place their ads. The more traffic your website gets, the more money advertisers will pay you to be there.
Some popular websites are so monetized, they produce thousands of dollars per month for their owners. I recently read that some sites produce as much as $5 per unique visit for the site owners. If your site is monetized that deeply, it pays to find every way you can to generate clicks.
That’s a thumbnail sketch of what Sean_Anthony is doing here. You care about the content of the excerpts he posts, but he couldn’t care less. You’re just a potential source of revenue to him. I’d hazard to guess that Sean_Anthony makes more money from Free Republic than JimRob does.
Do you really support that? In your heart, I’ll bet you don’t.

So why don’t you report him to JimRob?
Just looked at his homepage and have not seen any posts at all following his posting thread after thread after thread...Nothing but CLICKBAIT.........
It is annoying how he never comments. He doesn’t care about FR.
“Id hazard to guess that Sean_Anthony makes more money from Free Republic than JimRob does.”
Then why isn’t he banned??
Canada Free Press is a good conservative site not much different than Brietbart, infowars, and many others linked here. Those I listed are just as monetized, if not more.
Good article on Seth Rich;

Grandpa Dave used my previous quote to discourage this campaign against this poster because of posting articles written by contributors (very likely paid) to a website he runs.

He began:

Then he plagiarized the second paragraph
.”The topics and commentary provided in these postings (while I dont normally go to a source provided) I welcome and find such complaints frivolous and dismissible”.
To which GPD responded to and is why he used my comments without acknowledging the source. Attacking me because he believes I “click” on that source which I don’t by the way.
The topic offered in that posting was about Sheriff Clarke in which I reminded the reader of how it was and of the circumstances and courage Clarke took to get on the liberal “S” list.
But those very serious revelations were completely lost. As a result comments on the subject became completely ignored and the following comments by supporters of that effort dominated that comment line.
Quite often I’ll find an article or subject which I think deserves attention and send it on to a talk show host as well as suggest FR’s do so in the comment section. Which should help get and broaden the contribution base.
I suggest stuff like this should be discouraged
