It looks like Rory actually deleted his comment because it went so badly.

Oh, hey, I’m not greyed after that mild commentor revolt I started yesterday. That’s something I guess.

Weird project frankencar that needs work on its shoehorned engine, probably requiring a drop? Primer paint? And it’s an auto?

We don’t have anywhere else to complain about it because this site has been gutted by vulture capitalists.

Oh what a fucking joke.

I’m still proud of my B8 engine configuration joke. Two four cylinders stacked on top of one another. That was one of my only COTDs.

I think it was actually the first like this post got so I’m looking at you, Torch.

Like some other folks have said, I’ll probably stick around for a while out of habit. But I’ll definitely be checking less often.

And they mostly seem to have her on listicle duty.

Oh, man, remember when they cared about the commentariat enough to actually do COTD?

Good catch.

I got straight up shadow banned on Kotaku for cracking a joke one of the new writers didn’t like. This after being an active ungreyed commentor on every Gawker blog for years.

It’s not just David and Jason leaving man. It’s the broken comments system. It’s the constant listicles. It’s the lack of proof reading, the lazy reprints/links to other outlet’s articles, the ill advised hot takes like the “It’s okay people are robbing trains because they lost their jobs” article from a few weeks…

Same question from me, yeah.

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

That’s even crazier, I love it.

5th Gear: Honestly an off road scooter sounds pretty rad in an absolutely terrifying way.

I’ve written professionally in some capacity for basically my entire adult life, and honestly, it’s not laziness. You can read something half a dozen times and miss a simple error.

Autocorrect and a lack of editorial staff strike again.
