    How do people read giz? I block the ads, but still there’s a sticky video overlay, and “related” links everywhere… unreadable

        Saaaame and the stupid video still follows me.

        Lotta white space.

        I can see why these web sites are dying.

          Gawker media was sued into the ground by a billionaire quite a few years back for posting an article about him being gay and now it just exists to make as much money from adverts as possible until it dies.

          It used to be quite a good group of sites for tech news and such.

            Gawker was godawful and deserved to be killed. They had a service called (not kidding) gawker stalker which gave live updates on celebrities locations, an actual stalkers wet dream
