I think Some media conglomerate bought if for an obscene amount of money and the agreement was his silence.
Yep, he offloaded the site for a pretty penny and signed a non-disclosure agreement on the way out. He knew it would soon be common knowledge that site was no longer under his control. Don’t be surprised if he surfaces later with some new project — after a nice long vacay with his boyfriend. I love that the site’s numbers are tanking! Get woke, go broke.
About a week ago I heard it was likely Google.
Chris Salsedo on KSEV in Houston relayed that is the info that he heard through the media grapevine.
