You have to wonder how many hits to the Drudge website are legitimate, factoring in the 15 second auto refresh. Each refresh grants him another hit.

agree and it seemed to auto refresh more often as time went on...many large sites could get billions of views over time if their sites auto refreshed constantly

That is true, and that is VERY annoying. Two things I liked about Whatfinger News once I found it to replace Matt’s site is that it doesn’t refresh constantly, and it also opens links in a new tab. Those are things Matt does to artificially inflate his traffic. Those who haven’t tried it can check WF out, and I also found out that it is run by veterans (which is nice) and they clearly support Trump. A script blocker takes care of Matt’s reload, but it won’t eliminate his leftism.
