There is no future in 'Wokeness.' Pass it on to a friend.

The digital news company Mic has laid off most of its staff, a spokesperson for the company confirmed.

The layoffs were first reported Thursday by Recode.

It is not yet clear exactly how many employees were affected. Mic declined to comment beyond confirming the Recode report.

The company was founded in 2011, and for the past several years has branded itself asa news website geared toward millennials. Mic Publisher Cory Haik also resigned Thursday. In a note to staff that was obtained by CNN Business, Haik called journalism a "tough business."

You aren't in the journalism business; you are in the Social Justice propaganda business. Newsflash: Normies really aren't interested in the Culture War. That's only for lunatics like you and I. Contrary to the opinion of propagandists, propaganda is a bit like masturbation; too much of it and you start getting desensitized.

It's hard to imagine how Mic.com could have lost revenue with such hard-hitting, insightful writing as this:

It's Time For Men To Do More For Feminism

Mic was once a digital media darling, attracting around $60 million in funding from investors. Its biggest backers included Lightspeed Venture Partners, Clark Jermoluk Founders Fund, WPP and WarnerMedia. (WarnerMedia owns CNN.)

Keep flushing money down that Social Justice toilet, rich guys.

The company's staff swelled to more than 100 people by early 2016, according to The New York Times, which asked in an article published at the time: "What happens when millennials run the workplace?"

Failure. Failure is what happens.

But the climate is a tough one for digital media publishers right now. Ad revenue alone hasn't been enough to support these businesses, and Google and Facebook have substantial control over the ad market.

Dear Susan Wojcicki, I hope you are paying attention. Ad revenue, like wokeness, is a god that will inevitably fail you.

Refinery29, HuffPost and Vocativ have all cut staff in the past year. So have CNN Digital, Vice and BuzzFeed.

Refinery 29 = Woke. HuffPo = Woke. Vocativ = Woke. CNN = Woke. Vice = Super Woke. Buzzfeed = 7th Tier Woke.

Does anyone else notice a pattern?

Mic laid off 25 employees in August 2017 as part of a pivot to video. Co-founder and CEO Chris Altchek told staff at the time that the shift was needed because "visual journalism already makes up 75% of the time that our audience spends" with the site.

There were signs this year that the environment wasn't improving for Mic. Digiday reported in April that traffic to Mic's website had been plunging.

The article also noted that Mic was very reliant on Facebook, citing statistics that showed views on the social media site fell to 11 million views in March compared to 192 million about a year earlier.

Lizard King Zuckerberg's empire will fall as well. If the government doesn't get him, his fellow Woke Volk will cannibalize him.

"There's a better way Mic's leadership could have handled this and given enough warning and notice to its employees," he added. "But now they are going to be going into the holidays with this immediately sprung on them."

Remember in the last few days when the Woke Volk were having a good little chuckle at the expense of the recently laid off GM workers who may or may not have voted for Orange Man Bad?

I won't be satisfied until I see reports of the Guardian and VICE experiencing mass lay offs.
