It's like watching an awkward teenager try on different outfits. Buzzfeed, Kotaku, IGN, Reddit Front Page, and Common Sense Media....One of these shows who I am inside, right?

I've seen the postings from sub-contractors of these companies. Requisite responsibilites were generating 10 listicles a day(!) for the site to stockpile (which you can easily identify the kind above). Then I guess they'll stop paying you when you go under target.

Complete lack of passion and investment all around for writing - let alone even touching the complexities of software development.

There were worthless corporate gruel from day one. There's never been anything ever written over there that anyone has been proud of. They earned nothing.

That's the best part!

All of that prance and ponce about new games journalism? We all know behind that facade is the ass end of Gawker model being dragged against the carpet like a sick dog with worms for two dozen years. Advertising is the REAL business and these jobbers are just copy writers.
