It's just about the most clicks like any other non-right wing site.
You aren't thinking outside the box and I can only point the way man. Clicks are the currency not the game. Syndication systems and networks are integrating and being worked by AI. These all feed into warehouses that are learning more every day. When drudge flipped to Google we lost something big.
You can still go through and look at their adnetwork and see how that impacts your re-targeting traffic (personalized ads) over time. Sometimes you can sniff out data exchange arrangements this way. You can also analyze "narrative" pushes and work to find their origination points. Or at least get an idea of what entities are pushing narratives to cover up other happenings.
I'm learning too. A really good place to start, I think, is Dawkin's Meme Theory. The first step to understanding how susceptible you are to group-think is to understand how you can be manipulated into it. Or how we can also use memetic warfare as a toolkit for defending our position and informing the unguarded.
For me, the first step was taking a look at my own bullshit. Once I realized I was full of shit (See: Socrates and the Oracle) the world opened up to me. Then understanding just how much more full of shit everyone else was things got real fun. Eventually that led me here.
Because at the end of the day factories rusting are real and memes about China are not.
Drudge was sold. It's just about the most clicks like any other non-right wing site.
Yes this is why I chose drudge as an example.

Man teach me! They really try to control your mind any way they can.
