eh... this is kind of weak for the Onion.
This feels like Babylon Bee-level satire.
It's not a bad concept, it's just that it's more of a starting idea. It's not really formatted effectively as a parody news article.
They are going on strike, I wouldn't be inclined to try so hard either
That's a very fair reason. I hope they're successful. I think very little of the owners of the site.
It's funny that they have an ongoing joke that the owners of the site are evil, billionaire racists, and in real life the site is owned by G/O Media, which seems to have bought up so much of the internet's interesting websites and enshitified them.
They've been going on strike since 2022?
