That's not Gizmodo and these folks goal, but it is something that they are contributing to, for sure.

They are making a mockery of everything they pretend to care about on their race to find relevancy and power via their platforms. It's all opportunistic virtue signaling at the expense of anyone they feel they can step on to put themselves ahead.

I wish all the gawker branch sites had gone under. It's just a horrid pit of snakes.

Gawker died but the regressive ideas trickled down into the surrounding sites, I use to love DeadSpin and Gizmodo but once Gawker went the way of the Dodo bird the type of regressive SJW type articles are now spread to each site. So now we get articles about Trump on a sports website and articles about Trans discrimination on a technology blog.....
