In a shocking turn of events, the popular website “Clickbait Daily” has announced that they will need a whopping $4.5 million a year to keep their site up and running 24/7. This news comes after their private funding is set to run out at the end of the month, leaving the site’s future uncertain.
“It’s a tough pill to swallow,” says founder and CEO, Jerry Squishy. “But we’re determined to keep the site going. We’ve got some great parodies in the works, including ’10 Reasons Why Avocado Toast Will Make You a Millionaire’ and ‘Is Your Cat Trying to Kill You? A Definitive Guide.'”
Many fans of the site are worried about what this means for the future of their favorite clickbait articles.
“I don’t know how I’ll survive without my daily dose of ridiculous headlines and over-the-top content,” says reader Karen McFakeName. “If they don’t come up with the money, I may have to resort to reading real news. It’s a scary thought.”
In an effort to raise the necessary funds, Clickbait Daily has announced a new subscription service that promises exclusive access to even more absurd and pointless content.
“We’re confident that our readers will be willing to pay for the privilege of reading articles with titles like ‘7 Reasons Why Your Ex Was the Biggest Mistake of Your Life,'” says Squishy.
Only time will tell if Clickbait Daily will be able to secure the funding they need to stay afloat. But one thing is for sure – the world needs more articles about conspiracy theories involving celebrities and recipes for unicorn frappuccinos.
