Drudge Report traffic plunges as content turns against Trump
New York Post ^ | 10/30/2020 | Keith J Kelly

The Drudge Report posted a 45 percent decline in web traffic in September as the site alienated its core readers by turning against President Trump ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

The data — derived from comScore, which tracks the industry — were released in a report by TheRighting, a website that analyzes traffic to right-leaning websites. TheRighting told The Post that the Drudge Report had 1,291,000 unique visitors in September, according to data supplied by comScore, down from 2,340,000 in the same month a year ago.

September’s eye-popping decline marks the ninth month in a row that the political news aggregation website run by reclusive founder Matt Drudge has seen traffic fall

Deep State blackmail. His past caught up with him.

He still has a link to Free Republic on his page.

I found this site back in 1997 via that link.

I remember when he took the link down for a while because many posters here said he was gay, and we all pitched a fit to get the link restored.

Now I wish he removes it forever.

Drudge, I don’t care who you sleep with, but if Trump loses, WE’RE ALL screwed.

The drudge report is toxic to me.

You've seen a magnet repel another magnet when the poles are misaligned? That's me and the once, and former, matt drudge.

Toodles.

I haven’t been on for months. I just checked in today to see if he said anything about his “friend” El Rushbo. (That’s a little spanish lingo, there) Nothing. Some “friend”. The rest of the webshite was a litany of anti-Trump bullcrap. NEVER going back.

Haven’t been on Drudge since I realized the site was full on liberal bs. Citizen free press is the new one for me.

Drudge used to be a FREEPER way back in the early days. I read he sold the site awhile back. But I have nothing to back that up except that I’ve read it a few times. Would have made sense he sold it a while back and someone put in the contract he couldn’t say anything (which would retain the value of the people who link to it daily— at least until they realize it is a liberal joke and its hey day is over.)

DU is more conservative than Drudge. Go to The Bongino Report.

Any news over there?

I gave up Drudge a while back.

But what happened to Right Reads? The site has been ‘down for maintenance’ for weeks.

He’ll always have a place in history for breaking the Monica Lewinsky story. But I haven’t been there in years.

Did drudge sell out?

Rumor I heard was he sold out with a non-disclosure agreement in effect until after the election.

Drudge hasn't been run by Drudge in a looooooooong time.

He had two talents. Identifying stories that would go viral, and writing catchy headlines that would create clicks. Several years ago, the headlines started getting lame, and the stories started becoming what the mainstream press wanted to push. I thought he'd just gotten bored, but apparently the people running the site now are mainstream media shills that have no talent.

I quit going to Drudge well over a year ago, not because of anti-Trump bias, and nothing made me angry, it was just boring.

Drudge didnt sell. Deep state blackmail about his sordid past as well as selling links to MSM.

He’s too busy molesting robots to write his own webpage.
