Alexa Internet Inc. is a subsidiary of Amazon.

There are so many redirects, pop-unders, and other crap loading on these sites they are not worth visiting.

Meanwhile Neilsen Ratings are propping up Hollyweird shows with filth no one wants to watch anymore...
Desertion. No one posts much here anymore. Most of the news hounds and conservatives have moved on.
No they haven’t, there isn’t anyplace else to go. And recently many showed up for a thread. Many monitor.
