This is what loyalty to Jim Spanfeller gets you. The old staff absolutely made the right choice in walking off the job.

Deadspin still had humans working there? I assumed it was mostly just bot created SEO nonsense.

Deadspin used to be a regular visit for me but something happened a few years ago (I forget what is was) and they got weird and it just wasnt the same.

I have been a day one foundet subscriber of Defector. I used to love Deadspin but I stopped going there years ago.

I loved most the old Gawker dirt sheets in general. Shame Hogan big booted them.

Hulk Hogan was completely justified in sueing, though.

Same here on all those points. Well I forget what money level of subscriber I am.

When I saw My Morning Jacket in Philly I saw a guy wearing a Defector shirt and I went whooooa here come's the Jambaroo! And he had the most awkward reaction I've seen in my life.

Anyway I've been on a surprising number of dates where girls mentioned Normal Gossip so I imagine theyre doing well as a site. At least much better than the scabs are.

Theil never bought any of the Gawker properties. He just funded the Hogan lawsuit and said if anyone else wanted to sue Gawker he would fund it.

TIL Deadspin was still a thing

Of course, Kotaku is still a thing so I guess it shouldn't be that surprising.
