Additionally, many of these sites may say they do do investigative journalism. Example. Here's the WEEKLY revenue one of those sites. If you ask them, they're doing great work. I'd bet you $1,000 you'd call it clickbait.pic.twitter.com/quwiiM82XL

This particular company makes over $1 billion a year in revenue, a lot of it from ads. I promise you: you would call them clickbait. They may call themselves journalists. My point: I'm not saying you or

Right. I used data from my experience to disprove the point of the author. We agree. Am I only allowed to say my opinion when asked? Bootlicker much?
