The former Gawker sites are empty shells of what they used to be.

Kotaku and Jalopnik laid off everyone of importance.

The entire staff of Deadspin resigned four years ago and created their own website.

And now, one of the former sites staples will no longer exist.

The Herb strikes again.

I'm honestly surprised they were still around. I thought the Hogan suit did kill them.

Pretty sure I was never the target audience, but I can recall some good articles from them. Hopefully that content finds a new place.

I still don't understand how anyone in management thought that was a good idea

It did kill Gawker Media, but then Univision bought every site under its umbrella except Gawker itself, and added The Onion and The AV Club (which Univision already owned) to the group under the name "Gizmodo Media". Gizmodo Media then got sold to a private equity firm in 2019 and rebranded as "G/O Media".

Jezebel sucked anyway. I used to like Deadspin but its garbage now too.

The fired all the writers and moved the comments to kinja. One of, if not the, best places to have good discussion about TV on the internet died.

Also my main Jezebel memory is an article about misogyny in the gay male community leading to virulently homophobic replies like this one:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/24d16ada.jpg

TL:DR: commenter claims that "If I meet a gay man he's probably an asshole."

Im simply amazed remnants of gawker still exist. They destroyed Gizmodo and Kotaku. I left gamefaqs for years because those sites used to have everything I needed.

Completely agree. I used to love discussing tv shows with lively, insightful comment sections at AV Club. Now very few shows are even reviewed, those that are have very few comments, and most of the articles on the site are just lists of stuff (Top ten shows with THE in the title!). It sucks.

I also used to love Deadspin before the upheaval there. Now the writing there is the biggest heap of trash you will ever see. No one wants to pay me to write anything so what do I know, but woof.

It is a shame what has happened to all these sites, including Jezebel.

She's retired.

Unless you meant what she did between TvsW and her retirement.
