Volksverpetzer is heavily funded by government funded NGOs. I have yet so see an example of journalistic vigor on VP. A lot of their sources lead to publications with similar financial dependencies.
I don't know why anyone would take them that seriously.
planet-today.com (the source) is a right wing conspiracy website, that get most international traffic from russia (https://www.semrush.com/website/planet-today.com/overview/).
The domain is also registred in Lituania (https://urlscan.io/domain/planet-today.com) like most russian propaganda websites.
The website is also posting live data on the Schumann Resonance (https://www.planet-today.com/p/schumann-resonance-today-247-...) and this link is heavily featured on the homepage. This is esoteric pseudoscience heavily used in the qanon context.
And on top of these graphs (I sh*t you not) it says: The graph is updated every 15 minutes. Local time is expressed in Tomsk (Russia) Summer Time (TLDV). TLDV = UTC + -- hours.
What a weird choice of local time for a US news publication.

VP's "credits" consist mostly of tweets and quotes from some political celebrities: https://www.volksverpetzer.de/credits/
