What do y'all think of ZeroHedge?

Post by flyingpylon »

Just curious about peoples' opinions on ZeroHedge... worthwhile? worthless? entertaining? something else?

I have to admit that I stop by occasionally, but most of the time I'm not quite sure what to make of the things I read there.  The commenters are either geniuses, or insane... perhaps both.

Yep. That sums it up pretty well.

Isn't that kind of like saying "It's the tabloid section of the tabloid section?"

I think they make a lot of money selling clicks to advertisers on the backs of the doomer demographic.
