Here’s the direct link to the video you had nothing to do with yet wish to receive blog hits for:

Am I so naive that by clicking on someones website that they are making money from my click?
I'm just axing 'cause I really don't know the answer.
In most cases yes they are.
It's especially offensive when they use stolen content as bait.
Worse, some of them use Free Republic as an advertising platform for this activity.
tee hee, humble is our very own thread nazi.
Thanks for the direct link to the Leno bit. The video he showed of Lindsay Lohan was particularly enjoyable.
I am NOT stalking you... today. I saw your replies on “Latest Posts.” Really.
Thanks for correcting the links!
(It seems this poster thinks he’s owed an income for posting other people’s work.)
One of the main functions of a forum like this one is providing a single source for news, without having to travel through “redirect hell” picking up all sorts of cookies, trackers and viruses.
When bloggers mislead you into clicking on their site to watch publicly available material (most of which will eventually be posted by other FReepers in the course of a day) they defeat the whole purpose of having a safe haven for members like you and me.
Sidebar has always been on my top ten list of favorite Moderator names!
;)
Everyone needs a day off once in a while I guess!
You are too kind, my ~OVERLORD~
