Question: Why are so many right-wing websites teeming with pop-ups and adware?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Whenever I've ventured onto some conservative website, I've noticed more often than not, those sites are bogged down with adware and pop-ups, a few that have even escaped my pop-up blocker.

Is there some correlation between shitty politics and shitty web design?

I suppose it's one more incentive not to waste your time on those places.

1. Hmmm. I don't go to the right wing sites,

so I can't comment on them, but I love it that on DU, I only have to give a little money every so often and I never see ads here.

2. Conspiracy sites tend to do that.

3. There is a correlation of some sort between having a DU Star and not ever again seeing RW

propaganda and Fox cash dependent sites popping up in very rude ways.

I used to think these ads was funny, now I forget how annoying they were at DU...let HP keep them without opt out options.

Worth it.

Hope that helps.

4. Because right-wing politics is all about fraud.

People who are willing to be defrauded politically are willing to be defrauded financially.

5. Why on earth would you go to those sites? Just turn on TV or radio if you're curious.

They control them.

9. I don't actively seek them out.

But sometime when there's a link to something a conservative said that's posted exclusively on a right wing site, I hold my nose.

7. Because dumb people actually click those things and it makes money for the website owner.

Has nothing to do with poor web design and everything to do with revenue. The advertiser pays the web site (host) every time someone clicks.

8. They fall for it.

They want to know that one weird trick for cutting down belly fat.

10. If I accidently click on a right wing website I immediately clear out my cookies and close the

Browser. They put some nasty stuff in their websites.

11. Answer: For the same reason left wing sites are

Money.

I suggest a good ad-block program and malware filter.

Trust no site.
