Overview
- Paul Lukas announced Friday that Uni Watch will cease operations.
- He said revenue has fallen by about half since May because of an industry-wide downturn in advertising.
- Lukas also cited web developer and part-owner John Ekdahl’s serious chronic illness and his own diminished enthusiasm for the project.
- An attempted sale via Flippa collapsed as prospective buyers were wary of day-to-day dependence on editor Phil Hecken.
- Social media accounts have been deleted, and Lukas says the website and its archives are expected to be removed by the middle of next week.
