It's a shit decision. You lock out reporting spam for everyone but the turboposters, tell us that the downvote button is to be used in lieu, so what's the point?
Who cares if the content is copypasta with commentary, if it's the first time we see it? Who cares about ads? It's how they make money, and I'd wager that's a moot point considering most people here don't see any ads at all.
Agree with everything you said. Also, i'm sure that they're de-listed on addsense. No way google is paying them. Plus I don't see how them aggregating articles is particularly different from Poal doing so, just because poal links instead of hosts. Plenty of people have linked, or copypasta'd here because it was behind a paywall, or to make it easier.
