So where is the nightmare? I was expecting at least some analysis on why this is a bad thing.
- dragontamer 6y agoThis has to be some kind of joke-headline. I know the Gizmodo group has a weird sense of humor.
- znpy 6y agothe articles from the same authors look pretty much on the same line, catchy click-bait titles

- Bedon292 6y agoThat does seem quite bad. The article probably should have lead with that. I also don't want random recruiting firms trying to invite me to DM them on Slack all day long. They fill up my inbox enough as it is. Just another avenue for spam. Hopefully they will have a report spam and shut down the abusers fast. But seems they haven't thought that far ahead yet.
