Perhaps. It’s a lot of guesswork unless they make a deal public information. Yes I suppose it still makes a lot of cash flow but it was off some 40% from its peak last I checked a couple of years ago. So they took a hit. Maybe someone wanted the chess piece off the board, if you catch my drift. Drudge is now replaced with large institutional players. There is no real “underground news site” that aggregates unflattering information about the left with siren headlines.

Still makes me wonder since Matt Drudge could have had an app, could have had millions of followers on social media, could have had a podcast or Youtube blog, etc. He sold - if he sold - well before he could build an empire. Today you have a lot of guys who are more ambitious e.g. PBD, Tucker, Rogan and others.

Yeah I know it was off by 40%, but he still had people doing the day-to-day stuff. Still strange that we can find no place that can tell us who owns it currently. I would think that would need to be public information, even if it were privately owned. If for no other reason, to go after the owner if criminal activity is found to be operating through that website, via an unseen portal that can only be reached by someone with knowledge of it existence & access to it. Someone acting as a drug distribution kingpin to their distributors as an example, or some other kind of illegal activity.

I have no knowledge how that might exist, but somewhat akin to a dark Web, but operating on the regular internet.

Basically I'm trying to make the case of why it should be public knowledge even if my attempt to do so comes off as lame. 🤣

Too much work. He just wanted to make a living.
