Gawker.com to End Operations Next Week

After nearly fourteen years of operation, Gawker.com will be shutting down next week. The decision to close Gawker comes days after Univision successfully bid $135 million for Gawker Media’s six other websites, and four months after the Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel revealed his clandestine legal campaign against the company.

Nick Denton, the company’s outgoing CEO, informed current staffers of the site’s fate on Thursday afternoon, just hours before a bankruptcy court in Manhattan will decide whether to approve Univision’s bid for Gawker Media’s other assets. The near-term plans for Gawker.com’s coverage, as well as the site’s archives, have not yet been finalized.

Holy shit, Gamergate actually did something.

Is that comic implying Hulkster knew someone was recording at the time?
Because that's bullshit

Nah, it was hulkmania!

...

...

It's just a joke, you autist.

so are they being shut down permanently or is spicovison just rebranding or some other gay shit.

either way, who knew when this all started it would end with a hulk hogan sex tape

Credit where credit is due: GG slapped them around quite a bit, moneywise, before the Hulkster landed on them from the turnbuckle.

CONFIRMED: Univision is shutting down Gawker.com next week

Univision, which bought Gawker Media for $135 million in a government-ordered auction, is shutting down Gawker.com, the company's flagship site, founder Nick Denton told staffers on Thursday. Gawker.com will shutter next week.

Univision will still maintain Gawker's other properties, like Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Jezebel, Deadspin, and so on.

Gawker.com began as a site mostly focused on New York media gossip, but it has evolved over the years and recently pivoted to politics around the upcoming election.

It is also the site that has been the focal point of Gawker Media's recent legal troubles, particularly the $140 million verdict won by Hulk Hogan.

After buying Gawker Media, it was initially unclear whether Univision would take over Gawker.com, but Gawker staffers were cautiously hopeful.

"We've heard a lot about [Univision's news chief] Isaac Lee's commitment to fearless journalism. He has a reputation for a guy who very much buys into the idea of fearless journalism," Gawker staffer Hamilton Nolan told CNN. "I hope he demonstrates that by keeping Gawker.com open."

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was awarded $140 million in damages in March stemming from a Gawker news article published in 2012 that included a clip of him having sex.

It was revealed in late May that billionaire Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel had secretly financed the lawsuit and others against Gawker Media to try to put the website out of business.

"I saw Gawker pioneer a unique and incredibly damaging way of getting attention by bullying people even when there was no connection with the public interest," Thiel, whom Gawker publicly outed as gay in 2007, told The New York Times.

Gawker Media was handed a legal loss in May when a judge in Florida denied Gawker's motion for a new trial. That meant the damages would not be reduced. The judge also denied Gawker's request for a stay. This led to Gawker's decision to file for bankruptcy.

Keep telling yourself that

thats the gay part

Jezebel must die next.

You mean Peter Thiel.

I hate GG faggots too, but they definitely caused Gawker to lose a lot of money. They didnt fully recover in time before the Hulk lawsuit

WHATCHA GONNA DO DENTON?

everyone point and laugh at it

HOLLYWOOD HOLOCAUST HULK HOGAN!
;^)

Well the faGGots were pretty retarded but did a few things right, scared away investors from Gawker when Denton was begging for money, like that one Jewish billionaire and a couple others, which lead Denton into the arms of Russians months later for a shekel injection where he basically lied about the value of the company, the trial and growth.

Now I'm just waiting for the day when the news comes out about how Denton committed suicide by shooting himself five times in the back of the head.

It's proven that GG cost Cawker 7 figures in ad revenue. It comes right from Coalsucker Denton himself.

Now, that could be anything from $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 (although most likely closer to the former), but that's proof that they were hurting before they quadrupled down on the retardation.
>archive.is/zKi4F

So, yeah, they softened Gawker up. I don't know by how much, but you can't deny GG had an impact on that faggot's empire of dirt.

FUCK YES


Did you really think nobody from GG corresponded with Hogan's lawyers?

call me an edgelord but I personally won't be satisfied until everyone involved with these shit sites hangs.

Checked

GG costed Gawker seven figures in ad-revenue, faggot.

You should really read the whole thread before replying.

Incinerate yourself.

Join the club.

Go away, thread derailer.

GEORGE SOROS OWNS UNIVISION

GAWKER WILL RAMP IT UP TO 11 UNDER DIRECT SOROS CONTROL

GG has litterally done nothing but become a scapegoat for being "the big bad".

Even if you were to take down a few articles or some shit, it doesn't out weigh the fact that you made them hundreds of news stories that they capitalized on when you were in the news. Hell you memed it into a show by Dick Wolf. And what does this all leads up to? More clicks.

You helped them more than anything.

die

...

...

No, it's only Gawker that's shutting down. Kiketaku will still be up. Gamergoyz accomplished nothing. Not even with Hogan's help.

You do know that Holla Forums sits above Holla Forums, right?

THIS PLEASES ME

Gamergate cost them six or seven figures alone by boycotting them, starving them clicks and ad revenue. But it was Hulk that drove the final nail in the coffin. Gawker should have listened.

That's it, you've done it.

The amount of people on imageboards that don't read the whole thread before replying is fucking sickening. You should all commit ritualistic suicide together. Fuck this thread I'm out.

Take this with you. It help with all that butthurt

BASED
ONE OF US

at that point gawker would need a whole lot of money to stay afloat and fight off hulkster which were completely drained off by goyimgate shenanigans

what about Kotaku and all the other cancerous parts of Gawker Media?

Sold to Univision.

YYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH

This is amazing news, brother.

Are all the articles about Holla Forums archived?

They made a strong case for the euthanization of autists.

Notice all the Anti-GG libcuck shills in this thread

This makes no sense when they still reported 7 figure losses.

But whatever gotta make sure Holla Forums hates GG regardless of facts amirite, shills?

THANK YOU KEK FOR THIS AMAZING YEAR

...

Someone really needs to update this now.

It was necessary that someone be the bad guy.
The SJW's use the threat of labeling one a pariah to bend others to their will. And this has worked for them for a long time because most people that disagree would rather not rock the boat than risk defending themselves from muhsoggyknee rayciss accusations from a bunch of hysterics.
Like a swarm of mosquitoes the trolls kept needling away at them until they blew a damn gasket and went all out trying to stop a bunch of nobodies. They tipped their hand and lost the one thing that made their threat credible.

They would have found something to cry about and use as click bait either way.

It really is reaching the point where these people put propaganda and ideology ahead of profit, isn't it? That's good, because it makes their agenda more transparent, but I still wanted to see those companies die.

It's always been that way. The Tribe can't have goyim own any successful media because there's a risk they would have their own opinion.

Trump hates Univision so that's a plus.

Guys this is big. It is one of our first historic victories in the culture war. Think about it. For a lot of people, the alt-right was spawned out of Gamer Gate, which came out of the Gawker cesspool. Now we have grown so strong that the beast from which we sprung has been destroyed. But there is a long road ahead.

I'm reading about Haim Saban now. He openly and publicly admits his aim is for Israeli interests to control world media.

Why is the world at large so afraid of telling these people to fuck off?

Delusional niGGers still in denial of how irrelevant they are. YOU JUST HAD TO DO ONE FUCKING BOYCOTT ON ACTUAL GAME COMPANIES RETARDS.

Oy, are you planning a new Holocaust there, goy? Remember the six, no twelve billion Jewish children!

Do you know how many figures are in a million? Sure gg made a smaller dent than hogan but you are retarded.

in revenue. look up the definition of that word for once.

IF YOU HURT MY FRIENDS YOU HURT MY PRIDE

You know, you never hear the Russians complaining about the 30 million Stalin had purged, or the Chinese complain about Mao's 100 million high score.

Plus it's been over seventy fucking years. When is this shit going to lose its impact?

We made them toxic enough that any self respecting larger entity would not want to touch that dripping bag of pus.

Where can I get that Liru game?

Hmm. Is Univision (((Univision)))?

They want to make it a religion with all these museums and monuments. They want us to
NEVER FORGET
despite there's no solid proof of any massacre ever happening.

Both played a part.
Never had the numbers.

Of course. They also bought The Onion a while back and have been shilling Clinton with it.

"liru: wolfgirl and you" is the name of it, Don't know anything about it past that.

Are you a shill or what? Reading from bottom to top is best reading order.

What was the name of the Russian, lets meme him as a top cuck.

HAHAHAHAHAHA


Had a brain fart, but was referring to the 1-9M number. It didn't hurt them enough, they maintained operations and kept going despite loss of money and ad revenue. Hulkamania made sure they never recovered without (((univision))) bailing their ass out for the full 130M.

A lot of anons (and obviously the newfags) forget that Gawker wasn't just getting hit by gamergays, but by the ShekelShoah.

Back in the fall of 2014, some Holla Forumsacks who stayed behind on halfchan organized a clandestine campaign to contact Gawker advertisers and get them to divest by showing them some of the fucked up content their ads were showing up next to.

One user (never verified, but the dates check out) claimed to work for Home Depot's exec office and took a printout of a Home Depot ad next to a Gawker article about how cool it is to shoot heroin. No Home Depot ads were found on Gawker Media sites within a week.

Gamergate cost them more than that.
Losses accumulate.

I consider the shekelshoah part of the general gamergate event, we were doing the same shit (or at the very least I was)

yeah, that's true, but it was a Holla Forums contribution so it deserves a callout.


nah, kid, it was always about fucking up the journalists.

Actually, gamergate caused massive losses in ad revenues for several companies.
A bunch of autistic gaymers on the net caused 5-20 $ million in losses.

Proof or are you just pulling that out your ass?
What other losses?

A fucking Mexican shit network. Literally they where scraping bottom barrel for this shithole to be the top bidder. Back four or five years ago that site would have sold for half a billion or more by a real entity.

Also its a private firm not a publicly traded one. That's they only reason even the Mexicans could pull this shit off.

Sticky on /hgg/
sukebei.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=2042136

Univision is jewish, not mexican.

Does this look Mexican to you, pendejo?

Univision's major money comes from illegals wanting to watch shitty soap operas, ancient movies, and soccer matches in niggerized Spanish.

Not even Americanized spics want to watch it, because outside of the softcore porn angle of voluptuous women in skanky clothing, the programming is absolutely horrible.

I've learned Spanish as a second language (and watching Spanish language TV to help) and my God, it's not just a language barrier, their shows are pure garbage.

...

filled with shill spammers for No Goyim Sky and faggots who love traps

it's easy to shit up a board….placeholder means nothing…..just look at /furry/ (but being from Holla Forums means you already do)

remember when all these leftist fucks were praying for gawker's demise because gawker stalker was dangerous to female celebs? its amazing how you can create an online army by hiring a few tumblr bloggers.

This isn't really a big setback for them.

It just shifted hands from (((company A))) to (((company B))), a few shabbos are going to get canned but nothing major.

What's a $120 million hit to the (((Tribe)))?

Look at Disney and the Turner network, they're terrified of goyim owning any media, and will happily spend trillions of dollars to keep it that way.

they should've let Hogan have the Gawker brand

...

How the fuck is Hulk Hogan a racist? They have stripped that word of all meaning.

He's a white man. According to the rules, being white means you are a racist. and it's a good thing, let's gas the kikes now fellow racists!

He looks like just about the most Sephardic Jew this side of Kikesville.

Kek

fight for what's right

So what was The Cuck, and will it continue? Was it just a last minute tantrum before the keys were handed over?

Alright bud. You have my full attention. Let's hear it.

I'm not trying to shill it but total cancer gave a pretty good description of that debacle.

Basically the developers of no man's sky just continually teased at features that were nowhere in the game and everyone got jewed when they preordered a shit game with a ton of hype.

I'm imagining the scene from the Simpson's where Lisa strangles Bart but is stopped by Homer because he said her hands are too weak.

Can someone explain to how to download this? I have no clue how to save WebMs properly.

Keep an eye on where all the rats scatter too. It's most likely that a lot of them will just end up in other known click bait pozzed sites. But there probably will be a few who canter off to non pozzed sites and start shitting them up immediately.

Who knows, a lot of sites might know this too and unofficially blacklist them just because they don't want to deal with the PR of hiring an ex Gawker employee and on top of that having to deal with there annoying shit everyday.

Get yourself a cup of mead user, it's celebration time!


It will probably get sold to another company and live on. There's tons of them out there that will accept it.

Okay, fair enough.

Assuming firefox:
1. Open the webm in a new tab, either by middle click or right click->open link in new tab
2. Right click in the middle of the video and select "Save video as…"

For those looking for the Liru download, there's a pinned thread on /hgg/

Is this the same for Chrome?

Just double checked, yep.
Ah, I just realized, you don't have to have a new tab, just get the video to play and then right click in the middle of the player.

I'll explain, but only because you got dubs.

click on the webm to start playing it, right click, click save video as, when you want to play it go to the place where it saved and click it, it'll open a browser to play because it plays on the browser, the player is in the browser!!

gawker buttmad about sued released a recorded phone conversation where hogan says the word nigger.

I stopped being able to stand that place around late 2012 or 2013. Let me guess that's around the same time they started being taken over Gawker people right?

It warms me heart now that the few times I've gone to the site since. The whole place seems dead as shit. Like literally every single article they put up before 2012 had at least a hundred or two comments. Now most have zero and the most popular seem to barely even top a ninety.

Guess I wasn't the only one who was getting tired of all the political shit they started seemingly inserting into everything.

Mootcucks gf will be out of job.

thanks

okay, last question, is there a simple way to convert this into mp4?

You spelled "Necessary Evil" wrong.

Hm, I wouldn't know. I usually just save them as-is. Probably easiest just to google around.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Well done

GamerGate? Fuck off, faggot. This was pure fucking Hulkamania!

...

haha they literally got taken by the invading spics

univision is big but its nothing to the english world, and the english world is everything

they should have supported the wall

jesus CHRIST. i thought swedes were cucks

Damn you gamergate, you've put even more money behind Kotaku

Are all journalist deluded? So deluded that they think they're the plucky stereotype from old pulp-serials when in reality they're more akin Charles foster Kane?

Well it's in their nature. I really doubt they are Journalists. more likely just Narcissist Nu-Males.

Thiel is a gay faggot

I definitely remember the division at the time right after the first migration. The faggots over at GG were getting concern-trolled to death and kept trying to get Holla Forums to go along with it. Holla Forums told them they were being faggots and how to contact advertisers to hurt these websites. Gaymers Gays would have none of it and went off to die with their bowel movement.

Our nosy friends are already at work

...

HULKAMANIA IS RUNNING WILD!
GET FUCKED GAWKER!
DENTON ON SUICIDE WATCH

Thiel is gay. You're a faggot. Learn the difference.

You forgot about
Oh and don't forget if you complain about trap posting and porn spamming on Holla Forums your "le right wing SJW".

Someone secretly recorded audio of him saying he would never allow his daughter to date a nigger, even if it was a rich nigger or something like that, and yeah he literally said nigger. Someone leaked the tape to the press.

How based. This year has been pretty fucking based, aside from my dog dying. Honestly starting to be a little hopeful for the future.

TOP KEK

Why would Shlomo be complaining about Jared Taysachs?

You tell me, Chaim…

>All those poor, mentally scarred Shoah survivors (remember to pay them us reparations, goy!) are old and dying out.
>But goy! Think about gorillions of those who weren't born because of the Shoah! Their numbers are growing every year!

We need to start somewhere. Learn to shoah some minor shekel streams, and work up from there. Or do you expect our autists to be born with appropriate skills without any training? 10-digit losses ain't a bad start.


It never had any meaning to begin with.
