• Gawker is losing

[quote]Well, what we all suspected turns out to be true- boycotting Gawker sites and contacting their supporters with concerns about their ethics has cost them dearly. They've just recorded a seven figure loss- implying one million dollars, but possibly anything up to ten times as much. Which was nice. They've sacked (technically 'let go') their editorial director, while their founder is stepping down in favour of a seven strong management team. They still hate gamers- Sam Biddle is still on the payroll and Tommy Craggs is getting promoted- but they're desperately trying to convince the industry that they're on track to recover from this. I'm not so convinced. A 10%+ drop in revenue, with no steps in place to address the principle cause of that loss- hacking off their main readership with outrageous personal attacks- is likely to have long lasting implications.[/quote] [hd][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX8ssVOHMRM[/URL][/hd] [B]GOOD.[/B] Fuck Gawker Media.
Man, as happy as I am about the Gawker turn out, Bill Clement is adorable. He's like a little craftsman Dwarf.
Good. They've been on a steep quality decline for a long, long time. And they deserve pain for basically shitting all over the demographics that they're supposed to be targeting with their content. I used to prefer them a lot more over the larger sites like IGN and GameSpot because they seemed to cut the bullshit, but now they're basically 100% bullshit. They're the very definition of "glorified bloggers".
