At 2016, Prick News was a private limited company with over 2/3rds of shares held by the founder. Note the very common surname amongst the other shareholders.

Does it rely on ad income?

TBH the more "click-baity", the more likely that they do. Set adblockers to stun.

I haven't yet figured out who owns Penis News, nor whether Penis News is a trading name rather than a real name.

Its founder launched the first Jewish social network site in the UK Smile and is a trustee for a disability charity Smile and an LGBT charity Hmm but also founded a porn website Angry

It would be interesting to find out who owns them and interesting to see their accounts. Same can be said of the Indy.

Does it rely on ad income? If so, either don't click or only do so with an adblocker on. Would be ironic if GC critics were helping to keep it afloat!

Who funds Pinknews?

I struggle to believe that they have many genuine readers. Most of their comments are gender critical.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 01/08/2019 21:55

This is actually going to do a whole lot of good, this is going to get a few people (not a lot) to actually think about what is happening and what Pink News are supporting, maybe even realise what they are backing.

It comes to something when even Morgane Ogre is calling you out:

Thanks whats

whatsthecomingoverthehill · 01/08/2019 19:20

Juells, I'm not sure you can for the tweet itself, but if you go onto the pinknews timeline and scroll down to the tweet in question you'll see how many. (Not helped by their repeated retweeting of the same stories). At the moment it has got 513 replies, 51 retweets and 123 likes.

“Pink News has published a supportive interview with an individual who is suing immigrant women in Canada for refusing to wax his man parts.”

Check out the ratios.

I can see the number of likes and retweets, but can't see the number of replies.

Have you seen Gay Star News is closing? There's an article in the Independent blaming 'terfs'. www.independent.co.uk/voices/gay-star-news-close-lgbt-trans-terf-media-a9032896.html

OneEndedStick · 01/08/2019 16:38

Well they are the same people who published an obviously porn-inspired (they mention popularity of "twincest" porn) article asking why lesbian or gay twins can't have sex or marry each other, and go on to talk about how it's "women" who search for incest porn. So PN has already thrown actual gay men and lesbians under the bus to appeal to the TQP brigade, and nothing they say will surprise me Especially not their support of a racist, woman-hating, AGP, child predator. They're low scum

WhereYouLeftIt · 01/08/2019 16:25

I took a quick flick down Prick News' timeline. They well might be trolling for clicks, but it's not very successful. I wonder how their finances are holding up?

whatsthecomingoverthehill · 01/08/2019 15:27

Check out the ratios.

LizzieSiddal · 01/08/2019 15:11

Who funds this shite? They must be losing money right, left and centre, there is very little interaction with most tweets.

I think they must get more clicks from GC women, than anyone else.

nonsenceagain · 01/08/2019 14:40

Good comments. Total own goal. Couldn’t happen to a nicer publication.

Goosefoot · 01/08/2019 12:43

Wow.

I'd have thought the'd pull an OJ and just ignore the whole thing.

They've got balls, I guess.

Fraggling · 01/08/2019 12:40

What do you expect from penis news?

Doyoumind · 01/08/2019 12:36

I posted about it on the JY thread.

It is almost certainly a case of following the money rather than the mood. The more traffic they get, the better. I thought the same about the Desmond article.

Wow. If they're desperate enough to look this bad in search of click bait they're going to follow the Gay Star out of business any minute now.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/08/2019 12:18

Not so much 'pink news' as 'pink depressingly predictable', then?
