I don’t know why FReepers get all wadded up over FReepathon contributions anyway.

The current business model has worked well for over a quarter of a century.

1. Quarterly FReepatons that’s last 88 some odd days.
2. The goal is always reached a day or two before the Freepathon ends.
3. Meanwhile Jim (Now Chris) posts a daily FREEPATHON CHALLENGE in Breaking News which no one responds to.
4. A new FReepathon begins a day or two after the old one ends. Again - the goal is met some 88 days later.
5. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

This is a successful business model. Otherwise they would do something else.

Is it successful in the sense of advancing and spreading conservative though? Or is it simply successful in that they meet a quarterly goal? Is the site engagement improving or falling? Is the demographic of the site getting younger or older? Is it, and I'm going to quote JimRob here, "... to champion causes which further conservatism in America."

Unless you have insider info I'm not really sure how you can say, "This is a successful business model." when judged against the stated goals as laid out so many years ago.

I agree
They are entitled to make a living from it

Scolding over income is leftist mindset not ours
