VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

They are adamant that what they do is curation, but this here is textbook aggregation (aka content theft):

http://theincline.com/2016/09/14/liberty-bridge-closure-101-why-the-pittsburgh-artery-is-still-shut-down/

And who exactly is the audience for this article? "Tell me about this bridge, is it important?" sounds like someone who's never set foot in Pittsburgh or at best someone who has lived in a cave the past two weeks.

Weak attempt at "explainer" journalism with little to no original reporting.
