Well I can't speak to ads, because I never see ads, and if I do I figure out how it got past my hosts file, browser extensions, etc.
I do remember usasupreme to be very click-baity though. The article recently linked was just a basic write-up to give a little context for the jewtube video. The video could have been linked directly IMO. I don't know about everyone else - for me the expando worked for that article, but the video wouldn't load - forcing any user here who wanted to see the video to load the site.
When I share stuff to Poal I try to give the "meat & potatoes" to users, and put the "broth" in context if they want to leave the site and explore more. I prefer content that embeds directly here, with the source given if possible. Posts like that force me to leave Poal and I don't like them.
Haven't checked out the other sites, just noticed the pattern of mostly one user linking to them. I know you also shared stuff from defiantamerica.com I included that one because only a handful had (at least on the first page).
