How are these sites monetizing so well? Is it really just Outbrain type stuff? How do they grab traffic when starting from zero?

What are the best sites / forums these days for keeping up to date on content publishing and monetization? (No, not interested in "fake news," but I do have interest in publishing). I know there were some prominent forums back when I was publishing 10 years ago but where should I begin to get caught up?

The site is linked in the article, just look at what they're doing and how they're doing it.

Since they're scumbags, and since it hilariously pops up "You are not allowed to copy content or view source" when pressing CTRL+U, I won't link to their site here, but this instead:

The $14 rpm quoted in the article is unheard of. I've heard $8 rpm for video ads, but that was from a sales guy pitching his network. I've never heard the major networks quote a number 1/10th that high.

It looks like they are running the same click bait article ads that everyone else is.
