why does answers.com use the next button for everything.. did they get a special deal on its use..?

Update:

is it so hard to be able to read an entire article without having to hit next all the time?? its really annoying.. do they get a kick back every time its clicked??

    Yahoo bought the Next Button patent in 2005. They license it to others and that keeps the site going, along with the advertising revenues (of course).
