Did the Mods run this headline by their cats?

One has to assume the business model has the five-dollar-a-month user in mind. The reasonable, rational way for mods to choose greenlights is so as to increase the number of paying users and keep the percentage of current-user renewal high as possible. To choose based on click volume potential would seem to possibly put the cart before the horse because without users you will have no advertiser revenue anyway. But of course I have no idea where Drew's money actually comes from. The whole thing could be a vast money-laundering scam for all I know.
I do know that relevance, cleverness, wit, literary prowess, timeliness, having a concept, or being a speed-reading news junkie has little to do with it.
