Although as other people have pointed out, the site might actually still be up… tho I think there’s a trend that is real, to do with the personality of people who get into this kind of “work”.

I think one reason is… a lot of “personalities” in the leaker movement seem to have a pathological martyr-like demeanor (often amplified for good effect with a diva-like character too), which leads them to making these irrational own-goal “strategic win” protest moves, which might really just be them hitting the big red self-destruct buttons on their chest.

Almost like it’s daddy issues writ large, and they want to do anything provocative just to get attention. Which kind of leads them to seemingly gauge their success by the question: “how much have I been oppressed today?”

I think Snowden is remarkable for having avoided this common pitfall, leading to him having a longer shelf life.

I don’t know that much about this it’s just a theory.
