[META] Thehardtimes.net hasn't posted an article on their website in over a month. Does anyone know what's going on? (lemmy.ca)

For reference, this is unusual. They've continued to share things on social media like IG, but it's all old content - like a "best of" compilation. Has anyone heard anything about what's actually going on? I adore their work, and have supported them by buying merch in the past. It'd suck to lose, what I consider to be, a unique satirical voice in the shit-show that is modern life.

I saw a comment earlier that said something like the CEO or something along that lines quit or something like that? I wasn't really paying attention when I skimmed through tho.

    Oh, really? I hadn't heard that, but if so, that's disappointing. I actually found some of their headlines/articles to be equal to, or funnier, than The Onion's. I'm gonna be bummed if they've closed up shop.

    Obvious, the onion is the most well known, but it might be good to draw people’s attention to other alternatives, if they are no longer posting.

    Australia has the Betoota advocate. Canada has the Beaverton. Ireland has Waterford whispers News,

    All do local and international commentary to varying degrees.
