Given the depth to which traffic has sunk, and I assume advertising revenues, I'll bet Drudge regrets deserting an underserved "market" for an overserved "market."
One of the basic rules of economics: one's market share and income increase if no one else is offering what the underserved market want. For years, we were glutted with left-leaning media, with virtually no one serving the other side.
Drudge filled that need, and one assumes profited mightily from it.
But then he went into this already-crowded market.
He can go back to doing what he used to do, but as he threw most of this market under the bus, he'll never make as much as he used to
