    That’s how it used to work, but ad companies haven’t counted page views in a decade. It’s about ad views. That is why so many sites have the stupid ad blocker popup so you can’t see their content with a blocker on. Of course you can just disable javascript on the site settings to stop that.

      Is it really worth assuming that everyone here has an ad blocker and a javascript blocker? Because otherwise you’re generating revenue for the Murdochs, aren’t you?

      If you want to give a conservative perspective, I can’t believe there is no better source than the New York Post.
