I never use Google but this made me check. It was the only search engine I tried that had that result. What a total piece of crap that search engine is. Between fucking with it for profitable instead of relevant results and fucking with it because of their own social and political biases, they have fucked it to a fair thee well. It is a useless search engine.

I had no idea they owned the Onion. I appreciate you posting this. Gonna avoid visiting these sites in the future on principle.

Remember when the Onion used to be funny? No more.
At least we have Babylon Bee now, its ten times better.

Remember when the Onion used to be funny?
I mean, honestly it was funny for a minute like twenty years ago, but that humor format became quickly repetitive.
The gizmodo article was pretty funny, though. But probably not in the way that they intended.
Three years ago, a website was created as a refuge for the communities deemed too hateful or toxic to exist on the lenient-to-a-fault social aggregator Reddit.
Lenient to a fault? LOL. Fucking Reddit.

So how did Voat solve its money problems?

There is supposedly an angel investor keeping things afloat.

My theory is that it got sold to US Army intelligence because for a while there were a lot of front-page articles that were not very subtle army propaganda.
During the recent attack on the mosque in NZ, a lot of shills came out to insist that the attack and footage were real. They might or might not own the site, but it does show that there are some people who are trying to use voat to control narratives. Such groups have an incentive to buy or otherwise take over control of voat.

Voat was ported from windows hosting to Linux, drastically reducing the hosting costs.
