Yes, I think many years ago, it meant more like, “I’m posting this as a FRiend who is sickened by it, not as a troll”
I get it, but 99% of the time it’s already known what our enemies are saying because it’s all the same recycled propaganda.
Every click on a fake news site brings them traffic and revenue. I will not click on them anymore. I want to help them die as quickly as possible.
Or simply a warning that some FReepers may want to just bypass the piece without bothering to read it while others may enjoy watching train wrecks. :-} If so inclined, don’t read pieces with that added to the header.
Nailed it.
I never understand why some Freepers get upset at MSM news being posted here at Free Republic?
“Why’d you post this crap?”
And the only answer they get it “Why are you reading and responding to it? If you don’t like it - MOVE ON!”
I understand the “know thy enemy” idea.
I also understand clicks and website ratings and how google uses web statistics to (a) push things up higher on the lists from their search results, (b) push ad revenue accordingly, (c) help reward the altogether Left media to sell it as more popular to the sheeple - so I don’t post “barf” alerts. In my view it only increases the web recognition of crap I don’t support.
