MomoTimeToDie,

I’m not the one out a job because bots can throw together garbage click farms

amanneedsamaid,

Yeah, gaming journalism has always been a complete joke.

MomoTimeToDie,

Lmao maybe they should learn to mine coal instead

steakmeoutt,

You know how boring your attempts at trolling are, right? All your posts are the same sneering shite. Definitely a skill issue.

Yay! Two sites I now know to avoid!

anon6789,

I used to spend my lunch breaks reading all the Gawker sites before they got hollowed out by Hulk Hogan. I preferred it to Reddit because it was more articles with a comment section than the other way around.

Now all I occasionally check out is Jalopnik, and for at least a while it had a lot of recycled articles and buzzfeed your lists or ads posing as articles. I don’t think more low effort content is going to help.
