!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!

WHAT WAS GAWKER

Do you guys !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! remember how Gawker got started? The original website was called gawker stalker and it was supposed to be a TMZ type of site that would provide the location and info of celebrities in NYC. The foundation of the brand was started by a celebrity stalker.

Gawker is a decentralized blog network, meaning a bunch of independent contributors write articles that get featured on Gawker, who !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! them a cut of the advertising revenue. It's a lot of gossip and news-type stuff.

Gawker !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! exposed and slandered plenty of people and organizations that did not deserve it.

Gawker is a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! example of the leftist lynch mob.

The Gawker crowd is a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! strange lot that seem to be universally convinced that they are the golden content creators of the internet.

Gawker has !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! been one to violate copyright for fun and profit. Gawker is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! an ad-click bait site.

I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! like Gawker has baited us for page views.

They wanted more hits and more hate hits, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , like "OMG you won't believe what this IDIOT wrote – link." It's called link bait. It's worked pretty well for them so far

I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! like the Gawker Media group is worse than the Daily Mail and Fox News put together. Lifehacker and Jalopnik are the only ones that can be saved from that group. Gawker, Jezebel, Gizmodo, Kotaku, io9 and Deadspin are second-hand garbage. Who in their right mind can even conjure the idea of a Gawker acquisition? Am I alone in this?

Richard Blakeley isn't !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! editor-in-chief. Nick Denton is.

Denton founded Gawker and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! it but the editor-in-chief is Remy Stern.

It's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! jalopnik had to be thrown into this mess. I still remember before they were part of the gawker network. I like that site.

Gawker is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a Reddit feed reader with a Hipster-Docuhe filter turned on.

The Gawker.com !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ridiculously not credible.

WHO RAN GAWKER?

The New Yorker !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a great piece on all this back when Nick Denton took control of Gawker by forcing out Chris Batty.

Ever !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Denton took over, Gawker has made more and more questionable decisions – iPhonegate, the whole "Fuck you contributors" post by Joel Johnson, and articles becoming less and less researched, and more just reposts/tweets linking to other sites.

That and their sister site Jezebel, which recently paid $10,000 for some unretouched Lena Dunham pics to make some point about the artifice of entertainment. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is running the Kinja network?

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! : one of Gawker's favorite things to do over the past couple of years is attack large corporations, Republicans, etc for using the Cayman Islands as tax shelters. I'll give you one guess where Gawker Media Group, Inc is based out of. The whole entity is operates like an international money laundering organization. Much of its international revenues are directed through Hungary, where the tech side of the company was originally based out of and it uses a shell company in the Caymans to avoid having nearly any taxable income.

Denton !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! he is smarter than everyone, including usability experts, designers, his audience, etc.

I know you're not trying to emulate The New York Times, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! if you have any respect for your craft as a journalist, then start by applying some maturity to your writing style. Cut the gloating, for one. You think this will be your only exclusive? Then stop acting like it was. Cut the French, for another. I know you're a part of the dredge of society on the Internet that is Gawker, but if you want your readers to respect you then start by respecting your readers.

WHO WAS ADRIAN CHEN?

He tricked reddit with a fake AMA, they !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! mad that their gullibility was shown.

You've got the egg before the chicken there. The whole mess !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! when Adrian Chen decided to troll /r/AskReddit by faking cancer, and the thing snowballed from there.

I think the inciting incident in the "blackball" of Gawker was !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! the president pretended to be a terminal cancer patient on reddit to illicit sympathy, was found out, and then mocked reddit for believing him at all.

"President of Gawker" isn't !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a prestigious title. He's just some douche who got lucky in life.

They give money to Adrian Chen, a guy who faked a suicide here on reddit. He's literally paid to troll.

That guy !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a fearmonger of the highest order.

This guy absolutely !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! any sort of freedom, that much is obvious.

Why the fuck should anyone !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! anything this wannabe sad sack of karma-whoring shit writes, especially about Reddit? Hasn't he been totally discredited? Shameless Gawker still employs him, and still has him write about Reddit? Fire the dumb fuck, Gawker, then we'll talk. Hey Douchebag, did you ever consider having enough journalistic integrity to recuse yourself from a story because of possible bias? No? Well that's no surprise because no matter how much you want to be, you're not a journalist, you're a sad sack of karma-whoring shit. And no, not all publicity is good publicity. Just ask the other wannabe journalists who lied their way right up to when they were exposed as frauds. It's you who raves from the crater of your own self-fulfilled exile, and your insane jealousy of a legitimate and successful crowd-sourced public forum from which you can take absolutely zero credit. Fuck you, and fuck Gawker.

Adrian Chen does it for money, while others do it by hate. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! your enemy is an important thing.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE OTHER PEOPLE?

Brian Lam, Jason Chen, Jesus Diaz are the biggest douch nozzles on the Internet. They !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! you to be their friend on Facebook.

The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that broke the camel's back for my putting up with Gizmodo was the whiny, entitled, Joel Johnson.

Well if !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! isn't a face that would feel good to punch, I don't know what is.

Wow, he looks so smug and arrogant, I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a good face punching is in order.

John Cook's most recently recco'd article !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! titled "I Can't Stop Staring at This Picture of Stevie Nicks with a Dog Vagina". So there's that.

I go there !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Caity Weaver. Because Caity is amazing.

Richard Lawson !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! the Shakespeare of Real Housewives recaps.

WHAT DID GAWKER EVER DO TO REDDIT?

Notably, they !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! the name, picture, addresses, phone numbers, job details etc of Reddit moderators whom they disagreed with.

It has been !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that Gawker media have attempted to blackmail subreddit moderators to gain modship of their subs.

Adrian Chen !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! journalism when he gave violentacrez an interview this one time.

When adrian chen calls Reddit terrible, he !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! talking as an official member of Gawker media, whose front pages are daily posted with articles specifically designed to destroy people's lives for profit.

Gizmodo has !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! time and time again they do not have the maturity to maintain a healthy relationship with hardware manufacturers.

They hate any website that allows opinions and content to be generated !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! soviet style censorship and disgustingly biased, ideologically motivated editorial oversight.

Jalopnik.com is technically part of Gawker, yes, but I know the 2 guys who started it and they have nothing to do with Gawker. This is ludacris! I mean, imagine if Conde Nast screwed up in one of their magazines and in the shitstorm Reddit got banned from, lets say, mainstream media or something. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that fair? No.

WAS THERE ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT GAWKER?

I've found that Gawker !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has great comments for their articles. I wonder how they of all people pulled that off.

Strangely, gawker !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to have one of the most respectful comment sections I have seen in a long time pertaining to Detroit.

ON THE OTHER HAND….

Gawker's awful comment system !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! comments into an exclusive "boy's club" while insightful and interesting comments are hidden away in light grey because people aren't "starred."

WHAT SHOULD GAWKER'S PUNISHMENT BE?

The site that slams Reddit everyday and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is entirely made up of Reddit posts. Fuck Nick Denton!

I would !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to see a lawsuit break Gawker…. just locking up everything the owners of Gawker have would be enough.

Living in Toronto I've !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to listen to the gawker editor belittle the Toronto media and rant and rave about how he's such a pioneering journalist for accepting the invitation to have a video of our mayor smoking crack. He turned this into an even bigger circus, and it drove me crazy. Gawker and Journalism are two words that are not ever allowed to be spoken in a row. I hope they get sued to bankruptcy.

They treat contributors like shit anyway, like !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! leaked the iPhone 4S and treat their unpaid interns like shit also.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Without reddit complaining about gawker I would !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! have no idea it exists.

Actually, they are wrong. Jalopnik was created by Nick Denton, has always been a part of Gawker, will probably always be a part of Gawker.

Jalopnik is my most visited site on this internet machine, and I frequent Gizmodo, though I would never group myself in with those coffee-beer hipster elitist nerds. Anything outside the realm of gadets they typical don't know wtf they are talking about, unless the entire article is just quoting and paraphrasing another source. Jesus Diaz is a POS, like truly, literally, a piece-of-shit.

I can't speak for, or defend, the rest of the Gawker-verse, I only sometimes jump elsewhere when a featured story headline catches my eye on the Jalop front page.

From what I have seen, Jalopnik doesn't really fit into the mold that is the rest of Gawker. I mean between Patrick and Jason telling other Gawker writers to STFU, plus our commenters I'd say are the best of the bunch.

Well that was interesting . Some of the stuff we see on Gawker media is questionable, and perhaps sometimes illegal, but I don't know enough about it or the people who run the network to say much. I don't think Reddit can be held up as some sort of example, either, but as a community it's clear that they're a force to be reckoned with.

What I do know, however, that every time someone ends their post with "I'm a Navy Seal and I'll kill you like a fucking ninja," I just get disappointed.

It might be true that you're a Navy Seal, and maybe you do have a secret network of spies (uh, formerly secret, 'cause you just told the Internet about it), and maybe you are the fucking bomb, but it just sounds like childish dick measuring.

You know what? You don't need to convince us that you're tough, 'cause you just sent us a 4000-word essay with 200 different links for our consideration. When we're done parsing that mountain of text, we'll either be on your side or not, and there's no amount of military chest thumping that'll change things.

Okay I should clarify that a bit. I don't know the whole history of how gawker came to be so I'll take your word on that, but as far as the gawker writers and the people who comment on the gawker FP being hardcore liberals who take every shot they can at corporations and think anyone who disagrees with them is an idiot. That part is 150% spot on.

I don't think that person was serious about being a SEAL. I can't speak for US special forces personnel, but I do know 2 people that are CSOR and one JTF2 and they would never blabber on about confirmed kills and shit. They are the most reserved people I know. Which is more scary than someone telling you all the shit that guy said.

I hate Gawker, with the exception of Jalop/Oppo and a few io9 features. I HATE the clickbait, and the sensationalist bullshit. I was legitimately sad when I found out that Ray Wert was leaving the throng of beloved Jalops to become one of "them."

I don't post on Gawker and only occasionally venture into comments (and I always — always — regret it). There are definitely some smart, clever human beings that comment on that site, but they're buried in a tsunami of idiocy. I suppose part of the problem is that Gawker is basically just about gossip, sensational/trashy news, and posts designed purely to generate outrage. So there isn't really anything substantial uniting the commenters, just a shared love of garbage combined with boredom and idle hands. Not the best combination.

Oddly, Fark.com has gotten "ripped off" for far longer than reddit but I think the outrage comes from 1. teenage boys (either age or mental age) with nothing to do and 2. some sort of misplaced sense of importance about the site.

Before there was blogging or "social media", you'd be excited to get re-posted! Now, it's just expected and for some reason, a thinking permeates that they're the only source...

The reality is, a lot of it isn't far off.

Gawker is a drain plug of society - all they do is hate republicans, love democrats, accuse people of being insensitive to gays, etc etc. They live to sensationalize the most mundane news and the core commenting crowd think they actually make a difference in politics because 250 people starred a comment saying "gunz should be banned because they scare me."

Look at the article about the representative who told the reporter he'd throw him over the balcony. It was typical macho arrogance "you're not man enough, I'll break you in half...like a boy." Whatever, it's typical macho fight talk. But nooooo, gawker somehow is trying to make it seem like it was some homophobic fight talk. They really work hard to make this stuff up and their commentariat just eats it up.

Gawker is full of lefty extremists, Jez full of feminists, etc. Jalopnik is just cars. White black, gay, straight, republican, democrat, whatever. If you like cars, you're welcome to hang out. No threats of violence, name-calling, etc. At least not as much as on Gawker.
