Think of it this way. This website (or collection thereof) has several million unique visitors a day and probably has over 20M active account users (maybe much more...I don't know---i think 20M is a conservative guess given trumps base)
You cannot CANNOT run a website like this without having deep pockets. We are talking 5-10k a MONTH to run such a site, esp one that is hosting images for 20M active accounts...the bandwidth is what costs, not just the colocation fees, servers, etc, which would be like 10k-15k server just to run the site---or the equivalent in stretch VPS service.
This is why it's a honeypoot FOR . SURE .
That money has to come from somewhere. WE aren't paying for our accounts directly. So it's not a subscription model. WE are not seeing ADS. So it's not an ad model. We're not buying vitamins. Or Pillows. Or giving PATREON. Or donating BITCOIN to this website.
HOW IS THIS SITE MAKING MONEY?
The answer is, either the US TAXPAYERS are paying for it as part of their blackbudget / signature reduction budget (part of US defense budget) and it's a CIA Internet Influence Activities (IIA) program; OR it's some mixture of private ownership and that the "product is YOU" and they are harvesting our data and selling it to their backchannel affiliates who are going to use this data against us in some way...probably political reprisal, or some other thing.
So when I say WIN is a honeypot, I'm not just throwing out some kind of ingroup virtue signal to display my disdain of the system to curry favor with others here. I'm telling you I've thought about this quite a lot.
So why would I continue to use a FBI / CIA / DOD-DARPA / Minerva Research Initiative / Signature Reduction IIA / Media-Matters Southerpovertylawcenter ADL WEF Deepstate/Administrative state DHS cunt system ?
Because it's still 'freer' than REDDIT
And I'm exercising my first amendment rights
And also I get to say stuff like this, and make them feel bad because we figured them the fuck out and now we move on to the shaming phase. Where me make them feel bad for spying on their fellow americans who are being lawful.
All of WIN is a honeypot

Now here's what would be a total plot twist
This site is secretly owned and run by Donald J Trump
We can hope right?
It's prob. not. It's prob another FBI / CIA cutout like Google
All tools and assets can be used by both sides. It all depends on whether it's media spin or truth that's being portrayed. That and the intent.
