Anime Reference posted:Why would you want to look at any comments, let alone all the comments? Oddly enough, people complain about it but it’s really the only comment section worth reading because you rarely if ever see troll comments and the good comments typically rise to the top. Most Deadspin stories have at least one comment that is funny enough to actually laugh out loud at.

Crazy Ted posted:Kinja is one of the most convoluted commenting systems in existence. I honestly think Reddit is easier to read. Also the first comment on any post is required to be someone bitching about Bernie Bros and Jill Stein voters. In 2018.

I remember a small part of the reason I attended UW-Madison is because The Onion started there. I could pick up free copies just about anywhere on campus. More than any other media layoff, this strikes me as deeply upsetting and I regret not starting the massive, multi-state riot.

The people who were really hurt by the Onion dropping print are the guys who would just grab a stack of them and sell them on the street while pretending to raise money

I would blow Dane Cook posted:The comment moderation is so harsh because gamergaters and others were flooding gawker/jezebels comments with gore back in the day. I think Gawker had good comments in the past because they were moderated. Problem was they were doing it with unpaid interns. When that lawsuit hit they kind of abandoned the comment moderation and that's when it got infiltrated with trolls. So instead of paying someone to moderate it, they just created the dumb system they have today. Always weird the ways media companies pinch pennies. Then again maybe that's why they're all going under.

Ta-Nehisi Coates’s blog on the Atlantic used to have an amazing comments section. Pretty sure one of the regular commenters actually ended up getting hired to write for the Atlantic.

Ruining sports? All these leagues are getting gigantic TV deals and franchises are worth billions. Fox just paid $3 billion for the lovely Thursday Night Football games. The mental gymnastics he has to do to prove that point will be hilarious.

You know there's a chapter about how much better things were when Johnny Unitas loved America and no one ever got concussions. The metric he's using is how he felt when he was ten and not a bitter old man.

Ha ha ha Hulk Hogan is so dumb-hey why are you suing us? :( ha ha ha our parent company is so dumb-hey why are you selling us? :( Jalopnik aside, most of gawker's been a shell of itself since the Hogan suit. Deadspin in general and Magary in specific have clearly been on cruise control with the occasional good piece by Diana Moskowitz, and then just a bunch of whining about barstool that, while well-warranted, is clearly giving them all the attention they want. Posts screaming about the evils of capitalism are surrounded by their amazon referral links, lovely autoplay videos, and their "10 best deals".
