Yeah, that’s kind of the enthusiast’s trap, right? We do it for the love of the culture. All love is ripe for exploitation.

I wrote this in response to Gamecat in another thread:
You know, if they were smart, they would have just turned all the sites that they shuttered today over to a select group of unpaid moderators and let them continue on just like OPPO does. They’d remove the paid writers, which they were going to do anyway, but they potentially keep many of the readers and the communities at large on Kinja, just a click away from the main GM sites.
Instead, they’ve basically told thousands (millions?) of readers and contributors to go find a new home.

But do they make any money from our clicks here if we never venture over to Jalopnik?

Yes, if it still bolsters kinja’s unique hit count, it increases their asking price for ads.

Really hit the nail on the head with that.

Oh man, that would be awesome .
But I’m pretty sure Denton doesn’t even invite Torch to the Christmas party.

but to the best of my knowledge/view comprehension there arent ads on oppo. or have they disguised them so well i can’t tell.
the road block videos, the side bar ads, and the “three credit cards with better than 1 mile/dollar rewards” at the bottom are pretty obvious over on the front page.
who’s in charge of that ad pricing?
