The usual cycle of tech-bro capitalism would put them currently on the early acquire market saturation stage. So it's unlikely that they are currently charging what they will when they are established and have displaced lots of necessary occupations.
100%? Yes, Citizens United has poured petrol on the ability of large aggregations of money to undemocratically influence election outcomes; and yes some of those aggregations are unconcerned with the wellbeing of American people. But are people that are voicing concerns about AIPAC (given that it represents an appartite state currently brutally escalating a decades old genocide, that wants to silence any political voices that are critical of it) actually antisemitic?

It still works. Most of the apps are borked. Windows Explorer hasn't been updated in 5+ years so doesn't work with most sites. Baconit escaped reddit's 3rd party app purge and still works. Imgur still works well but with all the genX on it reminds me of icanhazcheezeburger.
Not to condone it but it was the zeitgeist. There were so many so much worse from that period across all forms of media. His mildly toxic edginess is at least not hidden away.
The BBC's programming might be center left at times but the news has been cast from a center right perspective for at least 14 years. David Cameron installed conservative management back in 2010 that's why we ended up with the likes of Laura Kuenssberg and Fiona Bruce giving their political output a good old Tory stir.
