"Do you make money on the deals you post? Sometimes. All our content carries a disclaimer that we may get a small share of any sales we drive to retailers with affiliate programs, even if that content has no affiliate links or only links to retailers without affiliate programs.

Are you insinuating that advertizement companies are the same as people?

It's the fucking SJW agenda. It's all tied into the federal reserve. Those SJeWs own everything.

Can you at least pretend to stay on topic and address my questions for a minute, or are you just going to continue strawmanning your opposition like a child and attempting to derail the entire discussion?
