It's not just huge companies, it makes sense that reviews for anything usually skew negative. Because if someone orders a product/service that worked out great, not many people take the time to write a "thank you letter.&quot

You wouldn't even come close to breaking even from display/search ads like you mentioned. Advertisers would rather pay a lot more for pre-roll video ads, even if the user doesn't click. Those video ads usually result in a muc

Honestly, how does this site differ from a subreddit? How does Reddit "own" a list of links that a user has shared? What in this site's privacy policy (which is safe to assume is a one-man band with no legal council) make it
