Business Insider is even worse. If you post too many conservative comments, they don’t just block your ID, they block comments from your IP address.

“Business Insider is even worse. If you post too many conservative comments, they don’t just block your ID, they block comments from your IP address.”

Yep. BI did that exact thing to me. Nothing offensive about my posts, just logical dismantling of whatever nonsense BI was writing about.

Now, if I REALLY want to post on BI, I simply use the Tor browser to sidestep the IP block. It’s hardly worth it though as VERY few people bother to comment on BI articles anyway, and besides, the idiots that run BI are simply cutting their own throats in terms of seriously reduced page clicks by eliminating the possibility of spirited debates, so why should I bother to help those fools make money.

And that’s pretty much the case with ALL sites that eliminate comments are nuke the ones they don’t like, which pretty much tells me these sites are more interested in fostering propaganda than making money, which nowadays includes a large number of the well known magazine-type sites.
