(1,110 posts)I think they really just want to see what can develop from it. It seems like an interesting site to me. Although, I'm a little bit less excited than I was at first, because there does seem to be some people on both the right and left who refuse to check their unneeded snark. Totally unhelpful to start a conversation with someone by basically calling them a dummy or moron before they can even respond. There is also, or at least was, a lot of posts about DU and DUers. That just seems to be going the wrong way, and I highly doubt that was the intentions that the admins had.
Overall though, there is some decent discussions that can be had if you're talking to the right people. Not all the conservatives visiting there are incapable of having a civil discussion. They might be wrong, but they can be wrong a civil way.
But back to the money issue, they seem to be getting a lot of traffic. So I they might be making some decent moneys just on ad views. I also try to click on an interesting ad every so often to give my support.
