Gawker (et al) Are Not Your Friends

When was the last time Gawker media did anything nice for you?

People tend to talk to gossip news media companies on the internet like they might have lost their virginity to them. They very well may have—an empty surf session around Jezebel while lying on the mattress or in the parking lot reading tweets from Gawker —but it’s a one-way relationship. Your sister’s face has never appeared on a Gawker website – unless she had her private iCloud nude images hacked – but Valleywag and Buzzfeed and motherfucking The Verge show up in the same streams as your loved ones.
