The site isn’t making money because the moderators allow abuse. It’s driven away throngs of folks. What used to be the best news aggregator on the internet has fallen from that peak.

It used to be that if you posted a duplicate article you were roundly and soundly told off. But now?
If you even dare to suggest that an article has already been posted, you will get criticized by several or more Freepers who complain that they have not seen those previous articles. So mind your own business.
One has to wonder why those Freepers have missed the previous articles already posted? Perhaps they don’t freep enough. Perhaps this site is inundated with dozens and dozens of duplicate and meaningless articles, vanities, religious threads and other useless posts.
Perhaps those Freepers can't spend all day looking at every article posted.
