60-Seconds.com website was hacked
Eight years of work and 167 articles of content and graphics are gone.

I am now publishing on these platforms
Probably the best collection of content is on Quora, where I'm known as Showkster "Showkster"
Several years ago, I could see the writing on the wall ccontent on the internet was moving into content management, and soon no one would actually control their own content. So I began publishing and sharing 60-Seconds content between various "social networking" sites.
60-Seconds began to publish content in other platforms. With the shift to "social" sites and big-tech's relentless rule over popularity, we could see that 60-Seconds would be one of the sites the big-tech and big-gov would devalue. After moving to WordPress in 2019 it was only a matter of time before the site was hacked.
The failure of WordPress is it encourages laziness and content. It's so easy, that everyone just enters their content directly into the interface. They upload the images into the interface. But once it's done, it's all contained in that database container on someone else's computer. If it's lost and hacked, it's gone. It's not like the pre-CMS days when we kept a copy of our website on our local computer before uploading it to the server. Big money sites can avoid the ever-present threat of a hack, because they can afford it.
Anyway, not to whine, I needed to retire anyway.Live Long and Prosper
