Well I guess that makes us even, since your response is genuinely, without a doubt, THE most egregious example of performative idiocy I have seen on Kinja, NAY! the whole internet, on par with the intelligence of an aborted fetus. So thank you for setting the bar!  Now go learn to tie your shoe laces.

Please see my response to Paxtez. And yeah, on the scale of things that are unethical, marketing is definitely on that scale, maybe nearer the lower end of the spectrum, but for context:

I mean, she’s right.  So credit where credit is due.

I meant it as an offhand joke, but you make a fair point. Annoying online ads are certainly low on the scale of unethical yet cultural acceptable malfeasance. That being said, I find the GMG sites to be nigh-impossible to navigate without a potent ad blocker.

Fair enough and good for you for getting paid to do what you love (at least some of the time). So many people in our late stage capitalist (I mean is it really late stage or are we just getting sick of it?) society, have to work jobs they loath and try to eke out time to do what they love in the nooks and crannies of…

Sincere question: What do you love?  What would you rather be covering if you had a choice.

bro, you need to find a more ethical line of work.

Well, you know, they’re just superhero films and are easily dismissed as kiddie popcorn fair I guess.

Pfft.  Linux has had this feature since 1973.

Yes.  A thousand times, yes!

Tell that to Linda Codega. She reviews Marvel stuff here on io9 and has, herself said that she doesn’t care for Marvel. Maybe it is because she is the new kid on the block?

I’m disappointed. No Luis. No comedic moments in the trailer. I like the Ant-Man movies precisely because they are not epics.

Uhg!  Doomcock.  How does he still have followers.  Years ago he said that Kathleen Kennedy was on her way out and that they were going to introduce some nonsense called “the veil of the Force” to retcon all the new movies.  Obviously neither of those things happened, and yet he still has a following.  Why?

Kudos for the use of “scofflaws”.  And for the overall insightful piece of journalism!

My fear is that Musk will operate Twitter as a loss to stroke his ego and pump up the right-wing nutjobs that love him, leading it to becoming basically 4-chan redux. But because it is skating on a reputation that journalist have used, it will infiltrate reporting and further accelerate western civilization’s collapse.

Wow. Thanks for the enlightening, yet frightening outline of what is done with consumer data. Yet another heap of reasons I will never have a voice assistant.

Consider a scenario in which a big corporation decides that political party A is more favorable to their business than political party B.  A couple is at home talking about supporting political party B.  Their voice assistant records and sends this data to HQ.  The couple go to vote and find they are no longer…

Well put.  Also, you posted this comment six days ago and it is still appearing on Gizmodo’s main page (and every successive page for that matter).

Why does this keep appearing on Gizmodo weeks after it was released.  And is on every.  single.  page.

Whataboutism at it’s finest.  Keep trying buddy.
