Univision to buy Gawker for $135m

Great point actually. That was dumb. It can be a bit hard to criticize the particular angle I’m thinking of without accidentally sounding like 4chan.

My point being is there’s a distinct difference between some of their… more rage based and quickly forgotten posts and the far more substantive work. The good shit is pretty well diminished, and more easily dismissed based on the gossipy shit and the clickbate articles and hashtag activism. There are still writers there that are, I feel, vital. But there’s so much bullshit involved I kind of do my best to avoid it till trusted venues start to recommend particular pieces.
