Wait, you are right, why the hell is amren banned?

It's because amren were copying articles from other sites and reposting them on theirs. AOU felt that this was essentially copyright theft since they were benefitting from ad revenue on those articles without adding any additional content. So he blocked amren under spam rules.

It was quite an unpopular decision.

Ok, that’s at least a respectable reason.

I disagree since I consider amren a good consolidator and as long as they source the article, it can drive people to the smaller creator and a lot of those small places have a habit of disappearing.

But I can see his point too.
