NR wants to sell merch. That alone should tell you everything you need to know.

I'm not opposed to selling merchandise because it winds up on TV at Trump rallies. I am opposed to exploitation and deception. Is there much difference between "buy my shirt" or "donate to my Patreon, etc."? Many of the research personalities attempt to publish their findings for a living - very difficult to pay the bills.

I agree. I have no issues with people trying to cover the cost of hosting, bandwidth, etc. In fact I remember that a few months ago, NR's site went down for a short time due to exceeding bandwidth allocation. I don't consider trying to make ends meet the same as Corsi-type profiteering.

However, I have become very disturbed by NR's posts and behavior since The Great Diaspora from Reddit. I did not like or appreciate his unfounded attacks on @srayzie and @Shizy. He didn't present any proof that anything was amiss with mods on this sub, but rather just pretty much said, "They're rotten. Trust me because I say so." I was already aware, before landing here, of Voat's reputation for hazing newfags, and I'm fine with that. But @srayzie reached out and welcomed us with open arms, and I thanked her for that.

My opinion of NR has definitely diminished because of all of this!

Thank you for this! It's hard to see those types of attacks directed at this sub and the mods, but I know the people here more so than just about anywhere else are able to employ logic and reasoning and think for themselves. Those type of "trust me cause i said so" tactics work on dumbed down sheep not free thinkers!
