It took years and years before people realized the bait n switch of the Drudge. If they realized it at all. RIP, Andrew.
Yeah, at some point drudge sold out - if he wasn’t bought from the beginning… I’d say who but it triggers folk. (Who did Monica work for)
He sold out in ~2018. At that time it was confirmed that a rather unknown marketing company became Drudge's ad broker. Leftists didn't want Drudge boosting Trump again.
The owner of that marketing company is Margaret Otto. Her background was mostly in municipal government - not the place to make enough money to own a super powerful website with a billion views a month. Though she did have equity in a hosting company (datacenter) for over a decade, I don't see that as enough to buy Drudge.
Otto lists herself as the President of Refdesk now. Refdesk is one of the OG portals of the Internet. Tons of old people pay them $25/yr. An interesting bit about RefDesk - it was started by Bob Drudge, Matt's father.
Funny how “Otto” always seems to be tied to bad actors.
“As above so below, think mirror.”
A follow up to this post:

Move On Org was founded shortly after Google. It became the funding machine for many leftists sites such as Media Matters. Media Matters was started by David Brock (boyfriend of James Alefantis). John Podesta gave MMfA its early office space and Hillary Clinton was very involved with its development.
It looks like the Clinton Impeachment blowing up caught them flat footed and broke through their gatekeeping so they had to make new blockades to control the narrative.
Fits. Nice and certainly believable.
Hmm interesting note on Sidney Blumenthal there. Wonder how it ended up.
