Yeah, no thanks. Go ahead and keep posting inane stories about the divorces or balding heads of people you don’t care for - bc we all know personal attacks are the way to get in tight with the likes of Orlove and Shilling, the detritus of this site. I hope Mercedes and Emslie find their way out to better pastures as…

NPOND That alone is just one of many curious choices that this site has made for worse. I don’t remember if it was ever explained why the change from NPOCP, but by that point I wasn’t coming here every day and when I did I bypassed the vast majority of churned out shit for the few good articles.

Comments like mine:

Scroll through the comments, maybe there’s a solution for you?

Rory responds by first attacking readers. Rory is the editor in chief. Rory gets rightly called out in comments for attacking the readers.  I think the criticism of how he handles this is well placed.

I’m sure there are going to be a lot of people in the comments saying things like, “That’s it, I’m out of here! I’m never reading this site again!” First, grow up. Millions of people read this site, if you want to stop, go with god.

Yea more content about the environment and bashing the auto industry for not being electric their whole lives!  Ohh and some mass transit stories and sadly no more discussions of lighting :( 

Well, they are starting their own new site. https://www.theautopian.com/car-news/welcome-to-the-autopian-the-ultimate-car-website-for-the-people/

I’m still in the greys, and will likely forever remain so, but:

Mercedes is undoubtedly a car person, but after her it’s pretty grim.

Better yet:

The Autopian. Next Month.

It also feels like they’re the last two remaining “car people” here. It feels like there’s been a rotating door of writers, some of whom don’t even have cars and are more interested in injecting their activist views into everything that I’ve just been ignoring articles from names I don’t recognize.

Thanks so much to both of you for the quality journalism and insane ramblings (you can choose who gets which accolade).

Oof, these two are the main reason I stayed here after the last mass exodus of my favorite writers. Now we’re losing them both at the same time. This is gonna be rough.

I would suspect Jalopnik would not link to a competitor

Same, Tracy and Torch were the only thing keeping this site in my daily rotation, so Jalop will be getting subbed out for whatever their next project is

Finally, this may be the push I need to stop visiting this site. You guys were the only ones that made it bearable. Best of luck in your future endeavors! 

Oh... I, uh, don’t know if I’ll still come around anymore much after this.
