Not really.  Gravitational energy is the potential energy of a system. For
example, two gravitating masses a certain distance apart has a certain
amount of gravitational potential energy.  If undisturbed, it will stay
like that forever.

If you allow the masses to get closer to each other you can extract energy
from it.  Like any other energy, some can be irreversibly lost once you
have done so, but this is not necessarily so.  For example, a mass
orbiting another in a highly elliptical orbit will exchange energy between
kinetic energy of motion and gravitational potential energy as the
orbiting mass gets closer to and further from the primary mass, forever(1).

(1) GR predicts orbiting masses radiate away gravitational waves so such a
system does lose energy after all if this part of GR is correct.  Plus
friction with intersteller matter etc., so if a system otherwise survives
trillions or even quadrillions of years unperturbed, orbiting masses will
eventually spiral into each other.  So maybe there's a little truth to
your silly spammed posts after all.
