A clickbaiter?
Woe is me!

If only Microsoft had actually purchased Yahoo.
But no.

The F12 view was a fun way to waste a morning!

I found similar numbers at CNN and USAtoday
A different article on Yahoo and left untended for a minute showed 1024 requests, an upper limit?

THANK YOU for the how to.

When you post, do you check the number of requests?
Where do you draw the line?
Is there any guidance for this function?

Breitbart, a site I avoid because it sometimes bogs down with crap, today was on good behavior and under 300, moved right along.

"We are glad it wasn’t a real body!” Ocean Hour concluded.

Now there's proof this organization, whatever it is, really cares.

No, not really, but it is like those bloggers who post enough to entice you. Please do not take it too personal, it is just that I see this a lot, sometimes even posting irrelevant material (Facebook links, etc.) when excerpts could provide the gist of the story.

No, since I know that there are multitudes of articles pasted each day, and reader's time is valuable, and having to having to go to a link and thus add one more tab (I have hundreds open myself across 6 browsers) and often face the onslaught you refer to, then rather than providing a couple sentences or so, instead I try to include as much of the article as I reasonably can, trying to use "Reader's digest" type editing. Like here. And unless I am posting all of an article that I think can be so shared (one here) or a composition of my own as here, then for in copying and pasting most then I click on "this is an excerpt" in the article post page, since that allows 300 words, which excerpts I first paste in https://wordcounter.net/ to get the number.

Wow. Glad you like the F12 feature, which is one the reasons I like Firefox, though besides two portable Quantum installations I actually run two profiles using the legacy Firefox ESR since that enables the many extensions that Firefox Quantum broke. Thank God for such tools. Image where we would be under socialism.
