The news could be a big blow for publishers, who rely on the platform to grow its audience. And Peter Thiel, the man who funded Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker, is reportedly now trying to buy the company. How the venture capitalist will run the company, which published controversial articles against him and still faces possible litigation from Hogan, remains to be seen.

Apple posts stronger-than-expected Q2 results
