Not all remove posted stories that are negative or spin negatives as positives.
I was replying to the post that I quoted. I think it is possible to receive ad revenue without compromising editorial standards. (Iirc, you had apple affiliate links discontinued over negative coverage).
Their willingness to deceive readers regarding the influence that banks have over their content is the issue. Trying to spin and imply neutrality by saying they pay for all their own travel is what led to my earlier comment that they have an understanding that negative press can be detrimental to the affiliate links from which they derive most of their revenue.
Be biased just be straight forward about your biases.
