https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/gawker-shutting-down-1235509262/ Gawker, the gossipy and snarky pop-culture site rebooted in mid-2021, is shutting down for a second time, with the CEO of parent company Bustle Digital Group citing the need to prioritize better-monetizing sites. In addition to Gawkers shutdown, BDG chief Bryan Goldberg announced a layoff of 8% of staff across the company. In July 2021, Gawker relaunched under the ownership of Bustle Digital Group, whose founder and CEO Bryan Goldberg bought the websites assets for $1.35 million in a bankruptcy auction in 2018. The original Gawker went dormant in 2016, after Gawkers parent company went belly-up after losing a legal battle with wrestler Hulk Hogan. BDG had hired Leah Finnegan, who worked at the old Gawker, as editor-in-chief of the new Gawker. On Wednesday, Finnegan said in a tweet that Gawker was folding. Well, after an incredible 1.5 years, BDG has decided it is done with Gawker 2.0, she tweeted. Cant say enough about how proud I am of the site and all the brilliant people who worked to create it, and what a staggering shame this is. I had an absolute blast, and I love you.

I fully expect a site like Gawker to be the first one to revive itself using entirely AI generated articles. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz ... Copied to Clipboard!
