-- I've never seen a paid ad on either chan. --
There is one ad at the bottom of each "bread." I don't think those create much revenue, judging from the products and services that display there.
-- So many FReepers whine about how embarrassed they are by the FReeQ thread. Why embarrassed? --
This is a good point. One will find many mistakes and leaps and downright silly theories on the so-called "not kooky" threads.
I can see the difference in foundation being "Q," vs. the foundation being a news report or an OpEd, but even those are more often misleading than not, and also tend to bury or not even report the relevant facts. Point being, nearly all the basis for discussion on FR is ripe for ridicule, and indeed, one will find ridicule of the OP expressed in many threads.
IMO, the quality of FReeper input here in the Q-threads is by and large at least as good as the FReeper input in the not-Q threads.

Absolutely. I do skim the main forums daily...just the OP because the comments have become trite and formulaic. All the news-worthy articles get pinged to the Qthread, anyway.
Noticed how many long-term FReepers are now posting here?
I hadn’t noticed the 8chan ad because I get so confused by their format and the amount of ad hominems, I don’t think I’ve ever made it to the bottom of any one page. My bad.
And it was a rant. I have been away from this thread for hours and hours at a time the last couple of weeks and I find myself mulling over the topics I addressed. So it was just primed for release.
Yes: why would anyone prefer an MSM source to newly-rediscovered information? Beats me. Misses the entire point by a parsec.
ThankQ for the *whoot*!
