TheReporterToday.com

TheReporterToday.com is another site that plagiarizes content while displaying ads.

Here is a post from August 2 titled "Hiker scares off prowling cougar by blasting Metallica"

Here is the original article from August 1 from NBCRightNow.com, titled "Hiker scares off prowling cougar by blasting Metallica"

TheReporterToday copied the entire article and then included a hyperlink at the end saying "Click here to read entire article."  Except, like I said, TheReporterToday already pasted the entire article.  It's not like they only copied a blurb.

The ads are those "Ads by Amazon" boxes.

I saw a Reddit user named /u/PaulaRodriguesBarros sharing links to TheReporterToday:

Not very sophisticated overall.

I’ve seen similar issues while browsing for academic and publishing-related services, where I came across “Reviews Paramount Research Publisher” discussions and noticed how important it is to distinguish between genuine platforms and those that simply repackage or recycle content without adding credibility.
