Russian President Vladimir Putin is officially a "loser."
His failing, ongoing war in Ukraine, which has resulted in Russia being near-completely cut off from the international community, is solid proof enough.
But Loser.com has made the designation official, and you can see it for yourself. Type the domain in your web browser and visit the URL. You'll be redirected to Putin's Wikipedia page.
The Loser.com domain name has gained notoriety over the years for doing this very thing before. (It even has its own Wikipedia entry.) The URL often redirects visitors to whomever its owner, Brian Connelly, deems as the biggest "loser" of the moment. Connelly has previously shared that he registered Loser.com back in 1995. Unsure of what type of website to develop for the domain name, he has been using redirects in order to troll world-renowned losers ever since.
It's unclear exactly when Loser.com first started pointing towards Putin's Wikipedia entry. A generic "coming soon" landing page sat on the URL, according to a Feb. 22 archivesaved by the Wayback Machine. Russia's military invasion of Ukraine began just a couple of days later on Feb. 24.
The next Wayback Machine archive of Loser.com was the night of March 1, which shows the domain redirecting to Putin's Wikipedia page then. The first tweetfrom a user noticing the change was posted to Twitter on the morning of March 2.
Loser.com's most attention-grabbing redirect came in 2015 when the domain pointed to Kanye West's Wikipedia entry. West had previously criticized musician and songwriter Beck after he beat out Beyonce for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards that year. In comments he shared at the time, Loser.com owner Connelly admitted he was no fan of West. (Ironically, Beck is also likely known by most for his hit single, "Loser.")
In 2016, Loser.com made headlines again when Connelly redirectedhis domain to then-U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump's Wikipedia page during the Republican primaries. Connelly would, once again, point the URL towards Trump's Wikipedia entry after the 2020 presidential elections, which Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden.
Kanye, Trump, and now Putin…who will Loser.com point to next?
