Snopes.com has been thought of as a reputable and trusted site for fact-checking.
From 2016 to 2022, the original mom-and-pop owners were sued out of their company in what was described as a “hostile takeover”.
Snopes is now owned as a for-profit “programmatic advertising business”.
Not that I don’t believe a random person on the Internet, but I don’t believe a random person on the Internet: Any chance you could provide us with some sources about that?
I’m not the one making the claim, but sure.

This is all readily available information. I’m not making claims based on theories as a post in /youshouldknow either.
You should be asking OP to prove their claims.
Thanks, OP is also a random person on the Internet but the sources are appreciated by all.
Sure, but this is youshouldknow not ivegotaconspiracytheory.
Facts are important for a claim like they are making.
I would agree, however it would seem they have edited their post and included sources.
They already had sources which pointed to nothing.
The claims are baseless. I welcome an actual source for their claim - the only response was “But they had an ad company!”.
Meaningless relative to claims.
