It’s so annoying that almost every socio-political blog post has a stupid spam comment after it.
Here’s what I’m referring to.

Come on thats the beauty of the internet, it can also find a crack to get through, but lets give the guy credit, I have never ever in life seen a blogger say **** off to an aggregator before, that just means, one thing, they dont need you. Besides Anime 3 has a big read club, the brotherhood need their bread and butter, so considering junking Singaporedaily that just accounts for less than 0.3% of their daily reads and a group of readers that account for the 20% that make the rest of the 80% what did you really expect the man to do.
Be smart, he is just testing you.

What you consider spam many consider gold. For example, I think the ST is gold, bc it is the greatest thing for cleaning windows. Let the people decide. You should not try to railroad the minds of people. They have a god given right to ignore or read it. Lets face it the reason why this fellow STOPPED the Singaporedaily from aggregating future BP material is simple. A simple question was asked a reasonable period passed, the administrators of Singaporedaily did not respond, rightly or wrongly, this fellow has Anime 3 and her entire read club gang following this, so what did you expect him to do?
Go spend your time tracking, tracing and what not, they will get through! On that I can assure you 100%! They have! Have you considered why people spam? Simple. They dont believe you are doing a good job of aggregating. Same reason why we have 200 channels, not everyone wants to read the stuff you aggregate. Hello, there is a big big world out there!
