As far as Pinkbike, I think they'll be fine for a long while. Their operation isn't too capital expensive (it's basically hosting cost and an office in Squamish) and they can always shed payroll before taking servers down. We'll probably see more "sponsored" reviews in the future, as that's just becoming more of a thing across all review sites for anything. 

Sory but this is the internet where you have to immediately treat someone like an imbecile as soon as they say something that differs from you opinion.

If PB goes away, where do you think a lot of those people will end up?

The woke clown posse are always offended at every level of discourse. So going straight to clown reference just cuts out a lot of the back and forth and outs all the clowns. So, kind of surprising. My test email is now up to 92% negative feedback.

Which exceeds even PB at its worst. Difference is that management hasn't chimed in and aggressively censored......yet. 

Have all the normal riders with actual brains bought E-bikes and moved on from MTB's? Pretty much all I see is E-bikes now.

Damn, I was trying to remain pure.

Is the clown in the room with you right now?

and he was given a gag order from his Outside overlords to not disrupt the pharmaceutical narrative that is "fashionable".

okay, the guy who lives on candy, beer and whiskey drinks. A literal self proclaimed water hater, you didn't know?  
..guess I'll be the only one to notice how anemic and unhealthy the pinkbike teams skin tone authentically looks. You know they're boosted to the gills with how far they pushed that pandemic narrative. Get real 

Kyle Warner told the truth about untested gene altering vaccines. Imagine that

Don't think window insulation is strong enough for this kind of mumbo jumbo...

Hopefully he is just getting all the garbage out at the end of 2023, so we can start 2024 without all that nonsense...

The PB team was anemic looking way before any pandemic occurred.

Having met both Mikes in person many years ago, "internet bike dork" was quite fitting. But nice guys.

I literally can not fathom that this website gets less clicks and visits than MTBR. You’ve got Robot and Schroeder testing bikes over here, compared to a website that is mainly old guys commenting on incoming weather systems and water reservoir levels that used to rate products by amount of flaming hot chilis. MIND BLOWN. I’m gonna start clicking everything, Spomer. 

It's because of the comment section. Pinkbike get's lots of comments and vital posts hardly get any comments. MAKE VITAL"S COMMENT SECTION GREAT
