Of course you can make up your own mind. I can't order anyone not to give money to encourage hatred and violence to cyclists ( amongst others)

It's not an order, because he obviously knows he doesn't command anyone around here. Use of the imperative for added force is part of standard English.
I can't even think how else he could phrase it. "Please don't click"? "Would you mind not clicking"?, "I'd be awfully happy if you didn't cllck"?
Edit: actually "Just don't click folks" is nearly as mild as my suggestions. I bewildered by the you-can't-tell-me-what-to-do reaction.

Responding to that rubbish with counter-arguments is better than sticking your head in the sand. As for clicks giving the news company money: how much money would one click give them? Personally, I think it's better to try to educate people than to pretend a problem doesn't exist.

Can't be bothered to respond to the article comments, at work I get loads of anti cyclist comments and people just aren't interested in listening to reason.
Let the small minded tools think what they want.

How much money one click gives is obvioulsy not much, yet all the clicks entirely fund the site. They have no other income. By engaging you are funding them and specifically you are funding this kind of article.

Yes, you made that point with the previous post, and I understood it then. There's no need to repeat the point.

Quite a measured and balanced article with smugness kept within bounds as well

Isn't that like Sweeney Todd banning Gillette?
Surely that depends if you have an ad blocker or not. I would assume that it is advert loads or click through that count, not page loads. If you have an ad blocker you could in fact be costing them money.
Yup all the media are full of bull.
