When they are shut down by their host because they disagree with the content or are being pressured by twitter, I can imagine that. When they go out of business? I haven't ever seen people complain about free speech under attack at that point. Could you provide an example from these countless outlets?

[edit]When Playboy shut down in 2020, for example, I didn't see people upset about it being an attack on free speech; it was a dated business model that didn't work anymore.

I suspect a large number of people are learning that Playboy shut down in 2020 from reading your post.

They didn't shut down, they moved to online-only. A lot of publications have done that.

Source: https://www.playboy.com/ is there, alive and well.

I don't think that's actually a magazine. It looks like there are no articles at all, it's just a run of the mill porn website.

There are articles, quite a lot actually, they just aren't prominently featured.

However, I can't find any articles written in 2023. So, perhaps the magazine part is gone after all.
