It would be fun if the various KotakuInAction subs outlast Kotaku.

We'd have to actually explain what Kotaku is - more than we do now. Although to be honest, I was so unfamiliar with Reddit lingo that I asked "why are we named Kotaku In Action when we're against Kotaku" when I joined.

To be honest, I don't know if it's them or CNN that dies first.

They might keep Kotaku alive till the last just out of spite because they HATE GG that much for revealing them as scumbags.

But we'll outlast ALL of them anyway.

"AI will never replace journalists, especially high-quality journalists," Kleis said. "That's why we're really focusing on experienced people bringing a lot of value to our readers, creating an engaged community."

The good news is that none of the existing staff are staying on. /s

Kleis said new priorities for Gizmodo include live coverage of events and vertical videos on social media.

"The kids are really into portrait orientation, how can we be more like the TikTok?" Yeah, good luck with that.

If anyone thinks the owner of Gizmodo will fix things, think again https://gizmodo.com/how-to-watch-pornhub-in-georgia-easily-access-it-with-this-simple-trick-2000622573 This is what Gizmodo is up to under the same owner, writing clickbait porn ads they publish on the site as posts

And that's when they aren't attacking white males https://gizmodo.com/internet-alpha-males-want-white-america-to-fear-zohran-mamdani-2000623086

Absolute slop house

What's especially cute is the smooth brains at Aftermath (you know, all the fuck heads that ruined Kotaku who cut an ran after destroying it) think the sale is a good thing that will improve the site and work conditions, lol. So if you didn't have enough proof these tech bloggers were abject morons, here's a little more to add to the pile.

Wait... Is Gizmondo the front website for a bunch of porn sites?

In that anything they advertise could be considered a front. But if you're interested in the origins of a publishing house that did get its money from porn, refusal to remove rape tapes, and was busted by the secret service for money laundering, you should check out Valnet, the company that just bought Polygon.

https://www.thewrap.com/valnet-labor-lawsuit-hassan-youssef-digital-media-sweat-shop/

Now talk about a fun read, and the follow up articles that cover CBR exploding and the CEO Youssef's petty lawsuits are even more entertaining. Dude's running a literal sweatshop built on stolen wages of its writers and editors as one of the biggest online publishers, breaking payroll laws across the world by treating it contractor workforce like employees while skipping all taxes and benefits, hot after being a porn king busted by the SS.

Least shocking of all, it's a Canadian company ran by a Canadian born Lebanese piece of total shit. Born in the first world, still behaves like a third world monster destroying the west, now that's what I call integration. Who wants to guess if Canada's citizens are helping pay for Valnet's destruction of online publishing with their taxes.

They're a front for the same thing that controls the porn sites, so sort of.

After a while I've realized that if it looks weird, it's a front for something else.

They really wrote a whole article to say you can use a VPN to bypass pornhub's filter.
