Of all the ways websites make money, Kinja Deals is one of the least obtrusive and offensive ones I can think of. It’s clearly marked as promotional content and it’s run by a department completely separate from editorial. It doesn’t drain my CPU with shitty Javascript pop-overs or play audio at me.

Not being forced to tolerate constant, sock-puppet amplified bad faith trolling is not coalescing into a group think hive mind, you clyde. It’s deliberate community building.

I remember thinking, “What could be worse than Disqus?” Now we have an answer.

So it’s now The Red Onion??

Sorry to break it to you, but The Dissolve closed doors three years ago*. I’d love to say that Phipps, Tobias, Robinson, Koski and Rabin are all doing brilliantly, with well paid gigs at prestigious sites which refuse to churn out GJI style content, but unfortunately I’d be lying.

Good and fuck anyone who comments suggesting otherwise 

Why do you think the first paragraph has any relation to the second?

Unhelpfully.
