i'm a huge fan of gawker and am sad to see it pass. i think the conde nast story was dumb as poo poo for them to put up. but still, they did a lot of good stuff and i don't know what i'll read now here are some of my favorites http://gawker.com/on-smarm-1476594977 http://gawker.com/5890660/andrew-breitbart-big-deal-big-coronary-big-corpse http://gawker.com/for-sale-a-video-of-toronto-mayor-rob-ford-smoking-cra-507736569 http://gawker.com/my-14-hour-search-for-the-end-of-tgi-fridays-endless-ap-1606122925 http://gawker.com/5994999/is-the-new-york-post-edited-by-a-bigoted-drunk-who-fucks-pigs

I'm enjoying that article about the guy eating mozzarella sticks, and as I had no thoughts on Gawker before its demise apart from "Wait, is that Buzzfeed?" I therefore now believe Hulkamania running wild on the website to have been a bad thing.

The original Rob Ford video being released the week before Gawker died is the weirdest coincidence.

"But in dramatic terms, it is a fitting conclusion to this experiment in what happens when you let journalists say what they really think." Also a fitting conclusion to an experiment in what happens when you host sex videos in violation of a judicial order and without the consent of the participants.

Karl Barks posted:i would say 99% of the people who poo poo on gawker have never read it. rough estimate Well count me as part of the 1%. I've enjoyed Gawker for years, liked it even more when it became more politics-focused, and believe the company absolutely deserved to be executed. They sanctimoniously poo poo on everyone for even looking at fappening leaks, but defied a court order to take down the Hogan video. Then the former editor in chief decided the best way to further show his smarmy fuckheadedness was to sarcastically answer questions about where his journalistic line was. gently caress 'em, this is karma.

gently caress Gawker and gently caress Nick Denton. I don't necessarily like the way it went down with hidden financier and everything, but it couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch sanctimonious liberal shitheads. Only saving grace of that company is Lifehacker and by that I mean Lifehacker from like 6 years ago. And gently caress Univision if they don't fire over half the staff and completely change the corporate culture.

gawker is incredibly good, and everyone who is glad to see aspirational vampire and fascist peter thiel get his way is a moron who should go post in the gbs wikileaks thread

logikv9 posted:counterpoint: the meth dude that funded their takedown is a bad man setting a bad precedent what precedent? if you disgruntle your investors or people with the money to fight back, you'll get hosed. If you're a journalist in russia, you get killed; if you're working for Al Jazeera and want to make a feature about immigrant working conditions, you're out of a job. gawker became the victim of their own hubris, and forgot for a second they're still part of the same game. Gawker was no bastion of free speech or critical journalism, it was a cynical clickbait enterprise with an ethics schmethics attitude masquerading as edgy self-awareness.
