click bait edit

While searching for information about a certain individual I found a bio of the person on the Lint center website. There are links at the bottom of the bio to an "author bio" and a "resume". Both links are redirects, one that attempts to force you through clickbait to download a Google Chrome add on about "security" in order to continue, the other is to a celebrity gossip site. Lint center mentor Indeed, one of the links in the founder James Lint is a redirect. As I poked around the site trying to find how many of these redirects I could find, and I found more, it began returning "too many requests". Maybe I clicked on too links with redirects. I don't exactly know what to do with this knowledge so I bring it here to the talk page to see if anyone will discuss it. I think it calls into question the credibility and ethics of this small 501(c)(3). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackhammer111 (talkcontribs) 19:35, 12 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
