I’m not stating anything other than this website is owned by Time, inc. Time, inc owners is currently on several boards for the oil and gas industry.

"The Drive" website... doesn't seem to mention "Time, Inc." anywhere, and your link is to an overview of "True Multimedia Co. Ltd.", described on that page as:

`True Multimedia Company Limited provides high-speed multimedia network services in Thailand. `

... which seems completely irrelevant.

Maybe provide better references? :)

Thank you for visiting one of the sites within the network of sites of Time Inc. and its subsidiaries. Ads delivered on these sites may be delivered from participants in the Digital Advertising Alliance's (DAA) Self-Regulatory Program, whose goal is to provide you with enhanced notice about online advertising practices and choices about the ads you see.

k. What's with the link to the Thailand place?

Corrected link was below. The owner of Time, inc is on several traditional Energy and Gas boards.

This may help you understand the relevant facts:

At least the conspiracy theories have moved on from “the shorts” to a more typical group.

I don't think pointing out a potential conflict of interest is the same thing as a conspiracy theory.

It is when they’re not even owned by Time!

Yes it is. http://fortune.com/2018/11/09/fortune-sale-chatchaval-jiarav...

It turns out... they're probably right in this case. ;)

eg it does look like Time, Inc owns it, and the new owner of Time, Inc does sit on the board of both a Thai Gas company and some other (Thai?) energy company.
