Of note from the article is that Huffington Post is not the money-maker it used to be.
I have noticed this from my own browsing habits. I actively avoid Huffington Post if I want anything resembling unbiased or accurate news. More often these days, it seems like they are willing to regurgitate any old blog post or celebrity tweet as a news item. That type of content is a lot less valuable to me (and it seems to others as well) than original reporting and journalism - anything other than "what this celebrity posted to instagram".

Because of the click-baity and rah rah rally the base type of political slant even on mundane of the news, made people to leave Huffington Post in droves.
