I hate Gawker because they mastered the art of manufacturing outrage.
- sigzero 11y agoYes, yes they have. Hate them for the exact same reason.
- MicroBerto 11y agoSometimes outrage is completely necessary though. As in the case of ongoing scams....
- kelukelugames 11y agoOutrage is necessary for social change. Gawker doesn't want social change. Gawker cries sexism and racism at every out of context quote to sell electronics. If something heinous is happening then the story will be reported with less sensationalism on a more reputable site.
- MicroBerto 11y agoYeah I was speaking in terms of actual product scams, when discussing products. Sensationalist journalism and then throwing affiliate links in is indeed slime.
