    I mean, everyone who pays attention knows how spinger is absolute trash. Has been since the founding of the FRG. Unfortunately, the morons who read it don’t die out. They thrive on stupid and mentally lazy people. I wish I knew how to change that.

      BILD circulation is down 80% since 1998. Obviously all print media has lost readership, but for example Spiegel is only down by 38% since then. Most other newspapers do a lot better then BILD in retaining readership, but BILD is so massive that they remain a power.

          No, this is just print. However even when you add subscribers of the digital version of BILD, they went from over a million subscribers end of 2022 to 650k today.

          However obviously Immowelt, Idealo, Stepstone, Autohaus24 and so forth are also part of the company and are very profitable. But they can not influence politics nearly as easily.
