The actress who played one of the two morning-show anchors went back to her original career as a pilot, presumably because it's a more reliable paycheck. I presume that she wouldn't have done that had The Onion continued with its videos, which indeed were amazing a decade ago.

Didn't the onion videos die because of inflated view counts reported by Facebook Videos? IIRC there were some fairly expensive settlements around that.
Is that what happened? I wonder if the same thing happened to CollegeHumor: Like The Onion, very popular YouTube videos (as measured by views) a decade ago, then suddenly disappearing (again as measured by views).
