Snopes.com has been thought of as a reputable and trusted site for fact-checking.
From 2016 to 2022, the original mom-and-pop owners were sued out of their company in what was described as a “hostile takeover”.
Snopes is now owned as a for-profit “programmatic advertising business”.
Did you check snopes?
I read the articles posted (which are about an adtech company sale, not about Snopes, just misunderstanding that Snopes is supported by ad revenue among other sources), checked Wikipedia, and yes, Snopes has its own disclosures which can be found here:

This post is misinformation.
Unfortunately the page you linked to hasn’t been updated since Nov 20th, 2022, event though before that it appears to have been updated at least annually.
Yes, a valid criticism of Snopes as I said elsewhere.
And completely irrelevant to OPs claims.
Yeah, Snopes says Snopes is still reliable, so it’s all good.
