It'd probably be easier to just replace them all.
I mean if you bought a website that had such a negative reputation, wouldn't you do the same?

It's nice to see Hulk Hogans Dick succeed where countless others failed.
And unsurprisingly, when it was about the leaked nudes of (female) celebrities during the days of the Fappening, these same clowns held a completely opposite opinion. Weird, huh?

Gawker is the one website in the world that would improve its image by renaming itself Kiwi Farms.

I'd buy Kotaku just for the pleasure and satisfaction of firing all these shitty clickbait bloggers.
But then again, I could also take that money and spend it on dog turds, would be pretty much the same thing, really.

It's great, they're selling their assets while keeping their liabilities. I just hope Hogan gets paid.

Honestly divorcing themselves from Gawker is the best thing to happen to half those brands, including Kotaku. Their ratio of good to trash articles is about even and the other 90% is inoffensive gameblog gruel.

Kotaku is the worst of the lot.

Kotaku has done some awful stuff, but their lows don't reach Gawker levels. At least they never outed gay people, aided a blackmailing escort, or aired uncensored sex tapes without the target's consent.
Kotaku's biggest crimes were lazy articles about video-game cakes, accusing the Cards Against Humanity guy of rape, not disclosing when their writers were sleeping with the indie devs they were promoting, their handling of Gamergate, and employing Patricia Hernandez.
Oh, and Brian Ashcraft's daily "I'm still living in Japan guys!" articles, but that was more 2012-era of Kotaku garbage.

Kotaku never seemed offensive to me. Just came across like a bunch of 17 year olds writing about their video game experience on their LiveJournal or Tumblr. It was just boring.

That was before it went to total shit in the period leading up to goobergrape. Jezebel did the same thing. Previously it was a snarky but more or less mainstream feminist site, but then it went full man-hating crazed EssJayDubya. It was sort of like Cracked in that it degenerated gradually, so that it was easy to miss what was going on until one day it just smacked you in the face so hard you could no longer ignore it that these people had gone fucking insane as a media culture.

Denton pays them peanuts anyway, they'd probably make more collecting unemployment. You'd be doing them a favor.

Lol chickenshit coward.
“I have to say that I think the court really got this one wrong,” said Denton on the judge’s decision. “The $81 million company valuation the court relied on was Hogan’s valuation. We told the court they did not know what the company’s shares would be worth… There was no misrepresentation.”

So, just to clarify, does this mean that Hogan is allowed to take shit from Gawker as a company, Denton himself (like his car, for example), or both?
