(135,425 posts)There's massive money to be made off people who come here strictly to read the links to news sites, who occasionally read a thread but really use this place as a source of links to current events and a four paragraph briefing of What's Happening Now--sort of like a Cliff Notes for news. They don't "join," they don't even lurk, often as not, they just read a bunch of links and move on.
That's where the money is. Not from the lot of us whining and crying.
Also, I notice that some of the biggest complainers from the We Won't Be Able To Rudely Trash Clinton Brigade are a) New and b) Not contributors to this site. They won't be missed because they've probably been here before and will be here again. They'll just have to pick a new screen name and keep their head down so they don't call attention to themselves.
