Nah, bro. Never block or ignore enemy media. Because if you do, you don't know what the enemy is thinking. Keep your enemies close.

Totally fair, but maybe we advocate for pirating it? I agree with you it's important to know what the enemy is thinking etc (also, in less apocalyptic terms, I agree with JSM "He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that.") but I don't wouldn't advocate people pay and support those American companies.

Yes, make sure they keep their ad revenues, that will teach them!

So you pass around the text or screenshots. They don’t get clicks or view metrics and you don’t become uninformed.

You still need people who went and checked it to pass out around.

Yeah. $0.16 in ad revenue to prevent the collection of hundreds or thousands more per article. Seems like a good trade.
