shortformblog: Hey all, just sharing this with a quick note. Recently, I was part of a small group of journalists/researchers who determined that the sports site Deadspin sold to investors with close affiliations with the online gaming affiliate industry in Malta.Eventually, it led to a story in 404 Media that tied specific names to the purchase and highlighted some of their M.O.: <a href="https://www.404media.co/who-owns-deadspin-now-lineup-publishing/" rel="nofollow">https://www.404media.co/who-owns-deadspin-now-lineup-publish...</a>It turns out that one of the key figures in the Deadspin purchase is also attempting to buy a bankrupt newspaper’s website, likely because the domain (NewsPress.com) has a lot of SEO value. That’s what the above story is about.This story is really important, because it is essentially putting a community’s history at risk. To me, it feels like a harbinger of what we could see in the future re: domain purchases.

shortformblog: 大家好，快来分享一下。最近，我是一小群记者的一员；研究人员确定，体育网站Deadspin出售给了与马耳他在线游戏附属行业有密切关系的投资者 最终，它在404 Media上引发了一个故事，将特定的名字与购买联系起来，并强调了他们的一些M.O.：<a href=“https://；&#x2F；www.404media.co&x2F；谁拥有deadspin now listen publishing&#x2F”rel=“nofollow”>https://&#x2F；www.404media.co&#x2F；谁拥有deadspin现在的阵容发布</a> 事实证明，收购Deadspin的关键人物之一也试图收购一家破产报纸的网站，可能是因为该域名（NewsPress.com）具有很大的SEO价值。这就是上面故事的内容 这个故事真的很重要，因为它本质上是在把一个社区的历史置于危险之中。对我来说，这就像是我们在未来看到的一个预兆：域名购买。

ilamont: Perhaps most disturbing of all, in just the past year, an industry trend appears to have kicked off in which a subset of SEO companies has begun to acquire the domain names and historical digital content archives of defunct small-town American newspapers for the express purpose of turning them into highly profitable backlink farms.Does anyone think that these backlink farms will have much value 2 or 3 years from now?This is not just about the role of AI providing better search results or answers to typical queries. It's also the longstanding decline in relevance of Google search queries gummed up with ads and SEO-optimized junk.

ilamont: 也许最令人不安的是，就在过去的一年里，一种行业趋势似乎已经开始，一部分SEO公司开始收购已倒闭的美国小镇报纸的域名和历史数字内容档案，目的明确是将它们变成利润丰厚的反向链接农场 有人认为这些反向链接农场在两三年后会有多大价值吗 这不仅仅是关于人工智能为典型查询提供更好的搜索结果或答案的作用。它；此外，谷歌搜索查询的相关性长期下降，与广告和SEO优化的垃圾邮件交织在一起。

giblfiz: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!SOMEONE SHOULD KEEP AN ARCHIVE OF OUR PRECIOUS CULTURAL HERITAGE.They could even keep in on the internet!We could call it the "Internet Archive"And with this amazing technology, there could even be a way we could go way back and look at things that were published before, right on the internet as well.We could call it the "wayback machine"Oh wait: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20220322003618/https://newspress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20220322003618/https://newspress....</a>Seriously though, three out of four times when I see someone crying "but our precious cultural heritage" it's something that has already been taken care of by archive.org, or that it would be trivial to have them help out with, instead of trying to force the hand of some corporate giant.Did you know that archive.org even has a special legal exemption to ignore copyright law for archiving software?

giblfiz: 这太令人愤慨了 应该有人保存我们珍贵文化遗产的档案 他们甚至可以继续上网 我们可以称之为“；互联网档案” 有了这项惊人的技术，我们甚至可以回到过去，看看以前在互联网上发布的东西 我们可以称之为“；后退机” 哦，等等：<a href=“http:&#x2F；&#x2F！web.archive.org&#x2F，web&#x220222003618&#x20F；https:&#x2F；&#x2F，newspress.com&#x2F”rel=“nofollow”>http:&#x20F&#x2F；web.archive.org&#x2F；web；20220322003618；https:&#x2F&#x2F；新闻记者</a> 说真的，四分之三的时候我看到有人哭&quot；但我们宝贵的文化遗产；它；这是archive.org已经处理好的事情，或者让他们帮忙，而不是试图迫使某个企业巨头出手，这将是微不足道的 你知道吗，archive.org甚至有一项特殊的法律豁免，可以无视存档软件的版权法？

KennyBlanken: > The paper declared bankruptcy on July 21, 2023. In a fitting final insult, the court filing listed more than $116,000 in company assets — an implausibly low valuation — as it was revealed McCaw had previously shifted the real estate property of the newspaper’s historic De la Guerra Plaza headquarters and Goleta printing plant into private LLCs under her controlThis is also a very standard play in the private equity field. The property (which is usually what they really wanted) is forked off to a different entity, and then that entity charges rent back to the original corp.This is how they kill off assisted living homes. They don't bother with cost-cutting; they just keep jacking the "rent" the property-owning corp charges the assisted living facility entity. In desperation to keep the home for residents, the staff cut every cost they can. Cracks in care quickly appear, everyone who can leave does which means lots of lost cash flow and expenses split among fewer residents...at some point there's just no more squeezing possible, the corp misses a rent payment...and that's that.It's also the classic plot for many stories; gang/army strong-arms a village and keeps asking for larger and larger takes of the village's crops, eventually leading to the villagers starving, etc.

KennyBlanken: &gt；该报于2023年7月21日宣布破产。最后一个恰当的侮辱是，法庭文件列出了超过11.6万美元的公司资产，这是一个难以置信的低估值，因为据透露，麦考之前曾将该报历史悠久的德拉格拉广场总部和戈莱塔印刷厂的房地产转移到她控制下的私人有限责任公司。财产（通常是他们真正想要的）被分割给另一个实体，然后该实体向原始公司收取租金。这就是他们如何摧毁辅助生活房屋的方式。他们不；不要为削减成本而烦恼；他们只是不停地顶着“；租金”；物业拥有公司向辅助生活设施实体收取费用。为了给居民保留这所房子，工作人员尽可能地削减了一切费用。护理方面的裂缝很快出现，每个可以离开的人都会这样做，这意味着大量的现金流和费用在更少的居民中分配。。。在某个点上；It’’’’这家公司没能再挤了，拖欠了一笔租金。。。并且-7；就是这样 它；这也是许多故事的经典情节；gang&#x2F；军队强大地武装着一个村庄，并不断要求对这个村庄进行越来越大的掠夺；的作物，最终导致村民挨饿等等。

kjkjadksj: It’s a shame these former voices don’t band together more often and just try and run a cheap to host site covering the same local topics. You don’t need to sustain the overhead to print and circulate or even rent an office anymore. I’d pay for that, I’m sure I’m not the only one either.

kjkjadksj: 遗憾的是，这些以前的声音没有更多地结合在一起，只是试图运营一个廉价的网站来报道相同的本地话题。你不再需要维持印刷和流通的开销，甚至不再需要租用办公室。我愿意为此付出代价，我相信我也不是唯一一个。
