The root articles hashtag was damaging, but it's not what did them in.
There's like a symbiotic relationship between this new brand of "wholeness and being broke.
Spending all of your days whining about things and people you cant control and fantasizing about controlling them isnt a successful person's hobby.
Univision brought all those Gawker sites because they had plenty of eyes, but none of that translated into $$$.
Also whining educated black folks speaking negatively on lower-class black folks in a negative manner doesn't necessarily = money. All that weakness and transgenderism and all that and they still couldn't get an audience to support them.
So what does that say? All those degrees didn't help keep the lights on without white mommy and daddy.
Black people don't want fantasies, we want to fix whatever issue we have.
They went broke because they have no real audience, they need to black folks don't care about that shyt, we want money and resources, we ain't got time for all that social commentary shyt.
Put it this way the Coli is easier to navigate than the ROOT.
Both provide daily information but the coli is more pro-black man and woman, the root is some c00n nonsense. All that education doesn't mean anything because honestly, a lot of educated black folks don't care about non of that social stuff, they after money and security. Oprah sold off OWN, Roland got down due to no money coming in. When they fail they say black folks didn't support them.
