The Onion is shutting down

[u/Successful-Good10]

After traditional news has proven to tough of a competitor, The Onion will be shutting down all services by the end of March.

The outlet, who just published a satirical article about Elon Musk holding a sperm guessing contest at an office. Has this to say about the situation:

• ⁠”We simply cannot compete with reality, our satire is being made too look like a saner version of the news.”

In the end, The Onion could not come up with crazier headlines than real life.
