Feel free to post the great insight you got from jezebel. I'll be awaiting your non answer.

If you can't find any decent articles in the jezebel archives I feel for you son that's a level of hater I could only aspire to be. I'm not endorsing their whole deal over a fifteen year run but they published more than a handful of good articles in that time.

I'm asking you to post these great articles that definitely exist (according to you). Its not my job to wade through clickbait looking for good articles someone told me definitely exist to prove I'm not a 'hater'. Until you produce any your statement is as valuable as jezebels valuation.

Here's a few I've liked.

Should be a solid afternoon's reading I'll check back tomorrow maybe.

Thanks for sharing with me. The first two are pre trump, I don't remember them back then but they're well written compared to the articles I usually see shared from it, however the last one has nothing to do with women and is from 2019, it's not something I'd look for on the site. The first one seems like a retraction for was the gang rape real, and I'll admit the articles are better written but they don't go anywhere. I could have skipped most of the article for the information it gave me.

How did you use the site? I used to read Lifehacker looking up stuff until around 2009 but gawker was bad way before it became clickbait farms.

I don't want to make it out like I'm a huge fan of the site or something. I originally followed it on google reader back in the day, and skipped most of the articles without reading even then. But they've also always had at least some truly excellent writers doing good work there.

I edited my response and although the articles are better written I didn't get any insight from them. The first is a retraction to their other bad article, and the 2nd was a nice story about following a reporter and the 3rd one could have been summed up as they want to make Christian movies more diverse and include nonwhite and less rigid stories.

The Unabomber predicted the futures today in the 90s. I hope we can agree that one person had more insight than the whole jezebel publication.

We absolutely do not agree about the positive impact of the unabomber, no.

They did not mention any positive impact…

... and unlike here, they had to do journalism (in this case, polling their readers) to generate the content with the comments on it. We just get to kibbitz on someone else's reporting.

It's what this site's for.

Hm... Now that I think about it... This is a link aggregator that doesn't run ads. It loads faster than the news sites it links out to, and comments happen over here instead of over there. Is HN part of the problem? Do sites like this pull the online advertising revenue out of journalism that journalism needs to survive?

Whataboutism.

And it's not even on topic, it's a complete nonsequitur. Also nobody's gleeful about his murders.

Well played...
