2016 Postmortem

Not going to link to the site, but you can find it easy enough.
Anyway, I'm a relatively calm person and generally don't engage in hoping to see someone or something fail miserably. But Overtime tripped that switch for me. As a statical analyst, I respect integrity of data over a lot of things, and OTP didn't believe in it, at all.
Ever since I wrote an expose on how OTP was just simply making up numbers in January, I've kept an eye on the site. The last time the site was updated was February 29, which leads me to believe the owner has given up the charade.
Good. Fucking. Riddance.

(1,359 posts)like Susan Sarandon (who I found out after her public outburst had a movie coming out shortly after that happened) and Rosario Dawson (who has a new season of Daredevil on Netflix to promote). Killer Mike probably sold so much bad rap to white hipsters that he can retire now.
It seems like political radicalism is the new DUI- a go-to celebrity attention-seeking stunt aimed at the 18-35 target demo.
