The Great Facebook “Boost”: How Click Farms Make Facebook's Paid Promos a Scam

That particular Blogger theme (and other dynamic themes) are among the most reading-hostile abominations foisted on the Web.

I've come to appreciate the two-gear overlay that pops up in advance: they tell me it's save, and a good idea, to close my browser immediately.

(On platforms with JS blocking enabled, all that shows is a blank page. This is also an improvement.)

Thanks for the feedback. Noted and updated with a better theme and format :)

Thanks, that is an improvement.

I'd be happier still with something solidly black for body text, and a larger font.

Blogger also breaks Firefox's Reader Mode, which is unfortunate.
