Gazette is just meaningless.
- colejohnson66 5y agoActually, a “gazette” is a periodical newspaper.[0] It’s a more obscure word, but it isn’t meaningless. And I can kindof see the usage as coming from “recommendation email spam is a periodical”, but it’s a stretch IMHO. [0]: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gazette https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gazette
