    I refuse to use MSN as a source because it’s never the original source. It’s only a scraper that rebrands news as its own.

      Most times you cut a contract for rev share to be on there. At least, that’s what we did.

      This. In other communities MSN in banned as a source because of this reason. They just scrape articles and surround it with ads.

      Yeah that would make sense why I unintentionally oneself on it so often. I almost always hit back or close when I end up there (usually because I click on a link that is interesting to me without interrogating the URL very closely, bad opsec I know)
