Media Lens go on to write:
Despite widespread awareness that the Guardian is no friend of the left, and growing support for the boycott of the paper, many activists and social media users still inadvertently support the Guardian by sharing links to its articles on social media.
It doesn't matter what your view of the Guardian is or how scathing your criticism, by sharing its links you are not only increasing their share count, you are sending visitors to the site to get exposed to advertising and inflating the site's visitor numbers. Each time you share a link to the Guardian, you help the Guardian.
