Plus, he “borrows” work that others write on their own websites. So he gets the revenue from clicks instead of the author.

Do you see this is exactly how FR gets content? And FR raises funds from that content? There is nothing wrong with that. Posts like this are one of the main reasons why I read FR, and donate to FR for it. Thank you Free Republic!
Do you not see that this is his own blog/website that he is promoting, and he is the only one promoting it here? Jim Rob allows us to post on HIS website articles from everywhere, so that people across the world can not only be informed, but we can talk WITH EACH OTHER about a number of topics.
Why does the Reverend not post the original link to the author’s original work? Does he get permission to repost someone else’s work on his website or does he post it on his website without their knowledge? Writers make money sometimes based on how many clicks they get on their own material. If they don’t get the clicks, they don’t get paid. That doesn’t seem right to me for them to miss out on what is rightly their earnings. The revenue goes to the wrong person.
I’m sorry but I disagree with you. I don’t get paid for posting articles here. The Reverend does because the rest of the article redirects to his website. I may be in the minority on this, so I won’t bother piping up, but to me, it’s blog pimping clickbait. That’s not what FR is about.
