I don't like that source of information because it redirected to an ad that tried to make me download malware and filled my history with junk. Couldn't even read it, literally, because they were too eager to exploit me.

Follow the money, indeed.

Don't you use adblock? You could say the same about NYT & WaPo too.

I do not, and I’ve never visited a page on the NYT or WaPo and literally been redirected to a malware site that adds 20 items to my history so I can’t hit back, and hits me with every dark pattern trying to get me to download said malware.

So, no, I can’t say the same thing about NYT and WaPo.
