I probably shouldn't judge based solely on this, but I had never heard of Post News, so clicked their home page.
Most of it is covered by a "login" prompt, and the trending story is 'Messi unfollows Taylor Swift's ex on Instagram." Is that "toxicity-free?" I don't really know.

I'd have told them that if you can't even read the post explaining the end of the site without hitting a hard paywall, your site won't have a chance in 2024. I wondered why I'd never heard of them, but it's easy to see why, given their lack of understanding of the importance of sharing to gaining brand recognition.
