Stop Digging

Something stunningly juvenile about this 'apology', and an apology dictated by the courts! https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/ccc-nuacht-considering-position-over-leo-sherlock-apology-1.3153446 The adage 'if you are in a hole, stop digging' springs to mind.

There'd be decent enough income from ads going on the volume of Facebook interactions it gets. May cover a salary.

There's a solid campaign to get advertisers to block display (they use brokers; they don't buy ads directly off him) which is going to impact in the long term - the more advertisers that block the smaller the pool is.

It's having success - Eir and Audible this week, some other major firms in the past; all heavy spenders on online ads.
