The funniest part about this whole thing is people trying to throw tax evasion in Babić's face. Honestly, if he actually paid his taxes, he’d basically be a hypocrite at that point.

I mean, what is that money even going toward? Painting tunnels? Or maybe helping fund those shady pre-bankruptcy settlements Linićev is famous for that screw over every creditor in sight?

You’re honestly doing this country a massive favor by not paying your taxes, because the sooner the cash runs out, the sooner this entire corrupt system finally hits the reset button.

Pure genius.

steelharbor9 said:Because of some copyright infringement claim—which, honestly, turned out to be totally fake, no joke! 😁

So, the bottom line is that Yahoo only ever reported on the fact that her video existed. They never actually showed the footage itself, which is funny because they loved to brag about that later on! I guess it was all just hype, maybe? 😁

But how exactly did they violate those rights? Just by mentioning there’s a clip?

I distinctly remember links on the Yahoo portal that were scrubbed later on. Then came the whole runaround where people claimed the footage leaked from anonymous sources at the PBS sports desk, or that CDs were being passed around the PBS building, and then the New York Post jumped in too. I don't feel like using Google to dig up those old articles right now, but I'm certain they're still floating around somewhere online.

Btw, if we're talking about why Yahoo exploded, maybe those clips from Thompson's footage of Auschwitz and Mason's extremist group over in Australia played a bigger part—I might be mixing up some specifics, but that was kind of the whole point. That (actually pretty good) investigative work is what really put them on the map for Americans; the news about Sevka was just a nice little bonus.

I recall that a few years later they caught onto Kirin's hunt too, and specifically regarding the subordinate 🤣

I did Google it a bit and looked up some old headlines (searching "Severina sued Yahoo" should be enough 😁), and everywhere says she sued them because of the report about an adult film's existence. Basically, yeah, they never actually posted the video itself, and she didn't sue them for that.

Severina told Yahoo that the whole thing was a massive ordeal, saying:

"I want to thank Yahoo for not taking part in destroying people's lives or invading their privacy. Once again, it's clear that human cruelty, stupidity, and jealousy are truly endless."

We released the only copy we have—which we’re more than happy to hand over to Severina right now—last night. But let's be real: don't go thinking this hasn't been copied a dozen times before it even landed on our desks.

LG, seriously, how much are they paying you to shill? ☕

So, let me get this straight. They had the footage, they went ahead and posted it, leaked all the screenshots, and then suddenly played nice and acted all innocent just because their manager was breathing down their necks. And after all that, they end up in court even though they never actually released anything? Okay. Makes perfect sense.

Okay, so where exactly does it say anything that contradicts what I'm saying?

Wait, did you seriously just add five words in parentheses inside that quote just to totally flip the context? 🤣 🤣

Man, I actually opened the link though, and it's super clear they didn't publish anything.

And here we go again. 🤣 🤣

I mean, maybe try reading with actual comprehension? If you just read what's actually written, it should be pretty obvious that the sentence you quoted says the only copy they had was what they wanted to gift to Severina, and THAT is what they "posted" last night—not some porn. It’s also pretty clear if you don't throw those extra five words in parentheses just to beef up your arguments on Reddit 🙏 🙏

And you're over here funding the repainting of highway tunnels while complaining about everything else, which honestly feels even more brilliant if you think about it.

Hey, Matijin's fiscal guy.

Just wanted to brag for a second. A few years back, this total jerk actually blocked me on Facebook just because I left a couple of comments on his posts. Can you believe that? Absolute clown behavior. 🤣



Of course, before that even happened, he went on a massive, insulting rant in his usual style and then blocked me so I couldn't even get a word in edgewise. Seriously, this guy is like North Korea. He just wipes out any negative feedback or anything that doesn't line up with his views, creating this total echo chamber under his posts where his little group of followers just sits around sucking up to him.

William Gomez5 said:LG, seriously, how much are they paying you to shill? ☕

I mean, I think for every single post they probably send Elizabeth Mendoza a 30-second clip of something spicy... honestly, Sevka is probably about to wave at the camera right about now!

I am honestly fascinated by how much energy you put into defending Babica and Yahoo. Either you’re on their payroll or you guys are tight, like some kind of inner circle. I seriously don't see any other logical explanation for it.

What a legendary comeback. 🙏 🙏

I mean, honestly, I don't care about Sevka, Babić, or whatever else; they could have filmed a movie together for all I care (and hey, people might have actually watched that!), but it's just hilarious how you constantly push a theory that has zero evidence besides "but, but, but, I remember it this way," while simultaneously twisting the info from the links you post, only to wrap it all up with that legendary "XYZ's tax guy" comeback. 🙏

As for Babić's Facebook—yeah, it’s pretty bipolar. He has some top-tier jokes and it's funny when he loses it on a bunch of people calling him out for being a communist/fascist/whatever depending on the day, but sometimes he gets really intense with those insults. restlesssurfer9 actually described him perfectly a few posts ago. It would be great if we could just pick which outlet we want to read about scandals, but I guess we don't have that luxury.

I knew this was coming, I totally did.
🤣 🤣

I've never actually met or had any real conversation with Babić or anyone working there, except for one person I recognize from passing by, and we haven't even exchanged three words in our entire lives.

The only issue is that I'm kind of allergic to people stating things that aren't true, and then when you try to argue, they end up saying something like, "I'm just fascinated by how you failed to prove me wrong."

Yeah, sure, the only logical reason for me to argue that you're wrong is because I'm in on some secret conspiracy. Give me a break. 🤣 🙏

Alexandra, give mommy a wave

Yahoo is just a bunch of libtards. ☕

Biased garbage, just like most of our news outlets. Honestly, CNN is objectively the highest quality, but you get what you pay for.

Babić is a hypocrite with a massive complex.

William Gomez5 said:Alexandra, give mommy a wave

It’s honestly wild how much you seem to know about the details of Sevkin’s adult film. I mean, I guess there’s no other logical way to explain it—you’re either secretly Lucic or maybe just Sevka herself!

Babic is a total clown—you don't even have to try, just look at his Facebook page. He’s like some offended drama queen, blocking anyone who dares to disagree with him. Honestly, you don't even need to insult him; just saying something that contradicts his current "vibe" is enough to trigger him. One minute he’s acting like a hardcore libertarian, the next he’s a liberal, then suddenly he’s leaning toward a dictatorship... basically, the guy has zero backbone and absolutely no sense of self.

Henry remembers when that video first dropped, and he was only about two years old back then!
I've finally finished reading everything, so I'm heading out. Goodnight, everyone!

And here I was, thinking I was the only one who decides where to get my news based on whether or not they try to force their way into the mainstream by dropping some random pornographic video 🙏

restlesssurfer97 said:Honestly, Telegram is way higher quality than Index if you ask me. It’s just like how Index handles all those massive scandals—they don't hold anything back, they aren't drowning in clickbait garbage either, and they have a super clear left-center ideological lean, if you want to get technical about it 🤣

I’d say Telegram is basically tailored exactly to Brankov’s tastes.

Babić is always such a flip-flopper, one minute he’s acting liberal and leaning left, then suddenly he’s pivoting toward being an autocrat because he’d probably love nothing more than banning conservatives from even having a thought. And he does.
That’s just how the whole portal operates. You kind of just have to deal with it because they actually do uncover real scandals, which is really the only redeeming quality of that site. Plus, they’re incredibly fast at tracking what's happening across the World and getting everything translated immediately 🤣

Now we wait for the crowd to chime in claiming that Telegram is part of the Telegram extreme left.

If memory serves, BuzzFeed didn't exactly experience some sudden meteoric rise to fame.
It was more of a steady, linear climb alongside the general growth of the internet.
As for that leaked video of Severina—BuzzFeed wasn't even the first to break the news that it existed, let alone the one who published it. They were simply one of the larger media outlets to pick up the story.
And Severina? She likely sued them because she wanted to sue someone significant, rather than wasting her legal fees on some obscure, bottom-tier tabloid.

When it comes to clickbait, BuzzFeed isn't actually any worse than the rest of the pack. Let’s be honest: every single outlet out there runs headlines like "You won't believe what this mother did at a strip club."
Every single one of them.
In fact, the way links get shared has become downright irritating; you look at ten different sites and 90% of the "articles" are identical copies.

Someone already pointed this out, but what really sets BuzzFeed apart is their speed.
I’d also add that they actually employ a handful of relatively decent commentators.
As for the bad ones? They’re just as mediocre as anyone else's.
