I hear ya! I suspect that the monetization process is a good way for Newsbreak to get free stories. And on the way to getting my 100 followers, I got tens of thousands of unpaid views. But again, if you think that anything you want to post might be a problem, don’t post it! I have earned 65% of my money on one story. And now that I have two strikes, I wouldn’t post anything like it as it was too close for comfort (about Larry Flynt).
Take time for attribution on any stated fact. Newsbreak loves links to other stories that verify the claim you’ve just made.
I’m pretty sure there’s money for us on Newsbreak. But speaking for myself, I have to be extremely circumspect as to what I publish having learned the hard way that Newsbreak means business when it comes to their rules and regulations.
