              lol. Ok. I guess this is 'above average' except it doesn't actually have anything to do w/web hosting & every gamer knows this stuff.

            It takes 5 minutes and almost no technical skills to set up a WordPress website. This sounds impressive b/c there is no context.

    The numbers BuzzFeed reports do not indicate strong traffic in the context of the rest of the web, or strong revenue medium.com/@aramzs/the-media-is-a-business-and-journalism-is-a-job-get-it-together-c1ba78a4df95#.idh9z9pxi

      The author clearly knows what strong traffic looks like. This report is flawed and misleading. CraigSilverman/810688176536911873?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

        I challenge BuzzFeed & CraigSilverman to contact experts in the ad tech and analytics industry to put this report in context on the record

              Context in a report like this matters. Yes, this is something worth reporting on, but not like this. Like this creates panic.

                Yes, there's a problem, but it is not new or politically-focused. The forrest has been burning for a decade and you're reporting on one tree

                  I like BuzzFeed and I think BuzzFeed News does great work. But the way they have been reporting on Fake News is fundamentally irresponsible.

                    For the record, I'd be glad to either connect CraigSilverman with experts or talk more in-depth about this myself.

                      Also, I dunno... if you find a common AdSense ID, shouldn't you call up Google and ask why they haven't turned it off? I'd like to know that
