so, you have no answer.

I'm proud that anyone who wants to can spread whatever info they want.

I love that I facilitate that.

Every election year my income almost doubles, why? Because people want their opinions heard. I'm glad I can help with that.

You can call the topic whatever you want. I am for the free exchange of ideas, you're against it.

:D



Anyone who wants, in your case, is "whomever pays me the most", which is a far, far cry from "anyone who wants".

You can tell yourself this is the free exchange of ideas all you want, but when it's an auction for who can hold the microphone it's anything but free.


False, it's whomever pays at all. I don't know if you've looked at online advertising costs, but their very affordable. We aren't talking super bowl ads.

mine is "whomever wants" unless you're arguing that online advertising is prohibitively expensive. I'd just have to disagree with that.

In your case it's "whomever is approved" which is a far, far cry from "anyone who wants".


Online ads use an instant auction to sell space. They literally are "whomever will pay the most", so no, not false.

Each ad placement is small cost, but your placement, frequency, and reach is absolutely dictated by how much money you spend.
