What's going on with Breitbart?
Breitbart ^ | 8/27/19 | Me, Myself, & I

Posted on 08/27/2019 8:25:42 AM PDT by EinNYC

ALL of the stories on Breitbart this morning are stripped of their comments. Is Breitbart following the trend of other sites and eliminating comments? Then it would be a boring site indeed.

Honestly if the got rid of the 20,000 ads, they would be readable.

I don’t visit because of that.

I noticed that yesterday.

Allow more space for their many advertisements and such.

Ehh. Whatever. If Breitbart does post something of value - I’ll read about it here.

Stripping comments is a leftist tactic to prevent people from being exposed to viewpoints that contradict the narrative

Their ‘Comments’ section comes up on my browser.

COMMENTS seemed to be taking longer than usual to upload. Wait a while and they will appear.

It looks normal to me. However, in recent days I’ve noticed irregularities with Disqus. I often have to log in more than once a day; sometimes when I post I get an error message the first time, saying I am unauthorized, then it goes away and I can make my comment; and a few days ago my entire posting history temporarily disappeared.

Some ad blockers have started to block Disqus.

And as others have noted, there have been problems with Disqus of late.

I stopped visiting Glenn Beck’s Blaze for the same reason.
That, plus the Blaze kept reworking the layout and look of the website. It’s like walking into a new house everytime you return for a visit. Becomes tedious.

LibertyDaily & GatewayPundit is now forcing you to support their ads (incl on mobile devices) - otherwise, the sites are blacked-out.

As a consumer, should WE not be able to choose which sites to support w/their ads?

Otherwise, LD & GP are just another form of totalitarianism - forcing their decisions on us.

I was just on their site. Their Disqus comments were there as they always have been.

I never look at Breitbart. I get all my news from the Babylon Bee and Twitter.

I used to find “workarounds” for those type sites but the internet news market is way over saturated now. Screw ‘em.

Same here. I’ve not clicked on that site in a very long time.

In a very real way, this site is much line Dissenter.com.
