It’s part of the eventual fallout of Gawker Media getting whacked by Peter Thiel/Hulk Hogan. The group of blogs that Jalopnik is part of is now owned by a private equity group that only cares about wringing out every possible penny. The site has gotten increasingly unreadable, especially on mobile. (also, RIP Deadspin).
- gchamonlive 6y agoThat is sad. That also highlights the dangers of tying your site/blog to an specific, private vendor.
- starpilot 6y agoI am 100% on Thiel's side for destroying Gawker. It was and is trash, and Thiel performed a public service.
- jacquesm 6y agoI'm not. Thiel is a terrible person who uses his capital in ways that simply buy the kind of justice he wants for himself, he just just used Hogan and the justice system as private tools to serve his goals.
- beervirus 6y agoWhy do you think he's a terrible person? Gawker didn't exactly come out of that whole thing smelling like roses.
