Because nobody buys a dying company out of altruism. They buy it because they think they can make money from it.

I’m almost positive the entire point of this article was to show that they definitively do not “Have this.”

Much as I loved OG Gawker, they did make some absolutely repugnant decisions prior to their slow death (the Conde Nast executive outing being the big one, in my book) that gave Thiel his opening.

I’m no Thiel fan, but Gawker effectively opened its flank to attack, shot a petulant middle finger at anyone who dared to…

nah they will just continue to crosspost the whiney drivel to the other sites

I was wondering why my phone didn’t crash 8 times while reading it! That explains it!

Maybe they shouldn’t have outed a gay man and shouldn’t have died on the “post the Hulk Hogan sex tape” hill.

There is nothing like Gizmodo Media Group on the internet.

They could use either Latin (if including Portuguese speakers) or Hispanic (just the Spanish speakers).

Need to cut costs, time to kill The Root. That should save some wasted money.

“ and just days after the presidential election, which had already set the company’s workforce on edge.”.....oh you poor people. 

the hand that saved them from a self induced death blow no less

AJ, the assassin of Gawker.

Oh man, how great would that be if the new GMG failed too?

If their sites actually worked on mobile, I’d actually allow the ads. But AdBlocker is the only mobile browser GMG sites don’t automatically crash every 15 seconds.

Man, but that’s okay. It’s GREAT. It means those people were completely invested in the movie! They weren’t thinking about the sequels in development, or ‘they can’t kill Black Panther he just made the second most money ever’ or whatever. They were just IN THE MOMENT of the movie that Marvel made, and that is just…

Precisely, I was just coming to post this. He’s bitter because they didn’t let him make his Muppet movie with his Muppet script. It’s called “The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made”, it dates back to Jim Henson’s lifetime, and who knows, maybe it would be hilarious, and they probably SHOULD let him make it now.

It’s because he’s mad they don’t ask him to direct.

He makes some good points, and it’s too bad Disney is so friggin’ controlling as to what the puppeteers say and do. But this article does bring this Onion article to mind, especially with some of the comments:

um, The Jason Segel penned movie and its sequel were great 

Remember when the guy who voiced Yoda in The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith didn’t want to be in Jason Segel’s Muppet movie because it “wasn’t true to the characters”?
