They don’t want us posting when they could be earning pennies off us buying useless crap from Amazon. I only need one set of Bluetooth headphones, thank you very much!

Thanks for laying it all out. I’m not sure why people are mad at me for pointing it out. The fact the AV Club insists on framing it in such a dramatic, clickbaity way is stupid. The fact so many people are blindly defending it is even more stupid.
I wish we were all so easily amused.
Again, you just really raise the discourse and make your point of view seem so enlightened.
Please tell me how I’m a dumbass shitbird.
Thanks for ceding the moral high ground so quickly. I’m sorry for slightly challenging your worldview that the best way to inform is to be just as shitty as those you’re ideologically opposed to.
Precisely. And as the Russian ad thing showed, there is almost no manual intervention to review ads, despite that being how they make the bulk of their money. No staff sees or cares about individual accounts until people take action.
You’re right, stoking racial tensions by trying to make something appear different than it is and rile up a base is only a problem when conservatives do it. My mistake! Sorry for aspiring for accuracy!
I don’t even understand what this means. Care to explicate?
I went to Motherboard to find out before calling Barsanti an idiot, but the story doesn’t say, which makes it much less useful of a point.
Huh, it’s almost like a celebrity with a whole bunch of followers will get more scrutiny than someone’s racist uncle who has 12 friends.
Huh, who would have thought that being an actual reporter would result in a scoop and not begging for unverified tips via email.
Responding to this ignored post since you’ll never respond in your “problematic” post. The fact you defend including CK in that header image by posting quotes FROM HIS ACT is stupid and pathetic. Literally everyone agrees. At least we can start building the case for you being a problematic piece of shit:
As much as I agree with so much of this, I can’t throw a like your way as you attack all of Eastern Europe for some reason. The o ly relevance it had was letting Denton pay lower salaries and help him keep money out of the U.S. for his inevitable lawsuit. Dude claims poverty while squirreling away money offshore.
You’re exactly right on the assistant being a good loophole. But these are federal regulations, and while they are certainly circumvented, it’s not at all how you described it. Actually, look no further than the AV Club’s sister sites, as GMG had to face a huge internet class action suit.
Because it’s one thing to be wrong, it’s another to be clearly parroting partisan talking points and show you’re nothing but a shill. Same as people who type “but her emails!” Why does pointing out that detail make me a piece of shit?
Ugh. No. Interns pretty much have to be paid if what they’re doing results in a material benefit for the company, unless it’s a nonprofit. Sorry to burst your “capitalism is ruining everything!” screed.
