Took me a while to actually stop going there but I’m there. Or I mean, I’m not going there. At all.

I deleted that bookmark earlier this year, even before the coronamadness.

Checked it a few times since, but have broken the habit. Can’t remember the last time I visited the site. I remember reading on another, maybe Bongino, that traffic to Drudge had fallen precipitously.

Did I mention that I once gave Drudge a headline story that was his banner for over a week? Lol of course I did.

Back then it was such a thrill, I emailed him and he called me in about 5 minutes. Put up the story while we were still talking.

He seemed great then. We made some chit chat, he was commenting that liberal guests were rude to him in the Fox green room.

That was during Bill Clinton. It was only the last 6 months I completely stopped checking Drudge Report.

Used to be a place I went to for a different view of the news than the main media’s.

Now I just check it to see the mainstream view!

I just visited Drudge and it looked very much like "classic Drudge" to me. In Drudge's final years the site was filled with pop-up ads, but I saw none when I visited just now.

Also, at quick glance the titles look pretty right-leaning to me this evening.

I vote "Drudgier than Drudge"!

Drudge is still involved as far as I can determine.

I check in now and again to see how Trumps doing. If there’s crazy TDS antics I know he’s doing a good job.

Whatever happened Drudge became a man of low character. Will probably wind up dead from drug abuse or some perverse sexual behavior.

“Google bought it

Would explain the 180, but do you have a link for that?

Well, I don’t have mainstream media input.
Drudge shows me what ‘narratives’ the media is pushing.

The opposite of the reason I used to check the site.

I haven't been to the Drudge Report in...a long, long time...I don't know how long.

Is it getting as many hits as it did back then?

Yeah I saw those. It was something that he said that led me to believe he still has a role in it though. Since I never really followed Drudge even in his heydays, I can’t remember exactly what led me to that conclusion since he means too little for me to even really care that much to remember. It might be the fact that he said he is making more money than he ever did before, or something to that effect.

never really thought about it, but that explains the reason I keep going back.
