@Mediagazer @taylorlorenz He’s basically a private equity firm, burning reputation into cash.

@Mediagazer Nebojša lives on one side of the spectrum when it comes to content quality. There are many more reputable non-squatted news sites that generate AI- and human-made shit stories while plastering pages with ads who are just as responsible, if not more so, for the decline of public trust in the Web content.
