I remember when Gizmodo just posted cool technology stuff. I even had my stuff featured on their website a couple of times.

Edit: I haven't been on Gizmodo for a long time. Do they also have a rule saying you can't criticize them?

This inspired me to checkout Hackaday again. Thankfully they still just post cool tech stuff (even after they sold the website a few years back). I'm not cool enough to have my stuff featured on HAD though lol.

I didn't vote on your comment but consider that people might just find the comment nonconstructive or uninteresting (which is what the guidelines say to base votes on) rather than that there is a "rule against criticising Gizmodo"

Like so much in today’s world, this is kinda Peter thiel’s fault.

He bankrolled the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against Gawker as revenge because they reported on him being gay. The judgement forced gawker into bankruptcy where it was scooped up by private equity. The new managers gutted the place and forced the writers and editors to publish clickbait garbage instead of doing journalism.

That’s why Gizmodo looks nothing like what you remember.
