All of the posts acknowledging the Auto play video fiasco gave been removed. WTF? Upper management didn't like that the writers and other staff dared to side with the commentariat?

Responsibility for one’s actions is overrated.

I was wondering this too. Also, the kinja gods killed off clashtalk? They can just snuff out sub blogs like that?

Remember everyone. Reddit is the best backup we got

I’ve been away from Kinja all day, and had just opened up a bunch of tabs to get caught up on the day’s postings. I read the “ A Note to Our Readers ” post, and refreshed the page to ensure that the most recent comments were loaded...

Dammit.

I was really looking forward to going through thos e comments. I can only imagine that half of them were complaints about the current state of Kinja, and the other half expressing solidarity and thanking the editorial team for the transparency of the article. I was expecting to find a LOT of comments worth “recommend”-ing and I’m bummed that I missed it.

Upper management pulled it:

Which isn’t just cowardly, but an apparent violation of the union contract:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

g-omediafeedback@googlegroups.com is the address. Send them your thoughts, but remember that the site EICs are on that distro, so be nice to them as these noxious ads were not the EICs’ doing.

You missed some good-ass kinja. (Mostly people dunking on the new owners’ lack of knowledge on how to run a website.)
