Ok the story is almost an hour old and I’ve just now been able to choke back enough tears to tell everyone.

Earlier today it was posted there were problems:

I know we’ve all been hoping they’d pull through but it’s not to be.

Is there even one lone voice of the DNC left out there in the media? Just one?

“It is no longer cost effective to distribute our digital content the way we have done previously,”

Let me guess...they are switching to print?

It’s pretty safe to say that the NY Slimes, the Washington Compost, the LA Slimes, MSDNC and the Commie News Network will continue to be unpaid ad agencies for the Party of Satan.

I thought they went broke a couple of months ago.

I’m willing to buy the URL for $25.00.

“Let me guess...they are switching to print?

apparently they’re gonna “wholesale” their “content” to OTHER distributors, but i can’t figure out where that content will originate since vice will be laying off hundreds of staffers ... maybe AI-genned garbage: cheap but worthless ...

“maybe AI-genned garbage: cheap but worthless ...”

I’ll bet you are right about that.

You can sure tell AI garbage, too. Just this morning, I was researching engine blocks, closed deck vs open deck. I found one excellent, factual, concise, insightful, well-organized, and non-repetitive article obviously written by an expert human.

Then I found another one that felt like it was written by a second grader, repetitive, full of superlatives, little technical content and annoying phrases; it was all just gloss and lots of useless filler. It would really be a challenge for a human to write that badly.

AI written articles are NOT ready for prime time. Maybe in 20 years. But they are pushing the crap on us way before its ready, just like EVs, windmill, and solar.

There are young ladies making podcasts on How To Find The Best Yoga Pants and other stunning content and they have millions of followers why can’t the truth telling people at Vice generate even larger audiences by dropping truth bombs? Asking for a friend. Personally I don’t give a crap. 😎

They were in bankruptcy—then Soros and others bailed them out—now they are crashing and burning with a few dead cat bounces along the way....

They were vicious and insane left wing propagandists.
