The site was not that great to begin with IMHO. The same old people with the same old ads over and over. Most that I met were wierdos of flakes. No moderation, flagrant rule violations, posts in the wrong category.
This was once the best site on the web, until Google decided it should control ZeroHedge's content. Google demonetized their ads, and ZH bowed down to their globalist masters and started telling lies for the Federal Reserve Bank. Now ZH is like CNN, MSNBC or Faux News.
