I have a suggestion.

First take a look at this posting history.

https://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:impetrio1/index?tab=comments;brevity=full;options=no-change

Please note that it is set to “Comments” as opposed to “Articles.”

Then try to find a spot somewhere on this history where the poster
(who is the author of this blog, promoting his own site here on FR)
has taken the time and exercised he courtesy of extending a reply to any
of the many posts directed at him and the comments on his work.

Then do one more thing, please.
Go back to the blog which you say you already perused.
You will note that there’s a prominent link at the top for PayPal donations.

Now I am not suggesting that he shouldn’t try to make money - he should.
But considering the amount of free advertising he’s getting off all those
“1 of X” posts here on FR, don’t you think it would be common courtesy
to at least have FR listed along with the other links he provides on his page?

So what we have here is someone who posts daily (sometimes twice a day)
on FR to generate revenue for his own blog, while turning up his nose at the
prospect of actually interacting with the participants on this forum.

Further, he is doing so in direct opposition to the posting etiquette
laid out by the proprietor of FR, Jim Robinson, right here:

And that is pretty much why he is, as we say, a blogpimp
and his posts are clickbait.
