Gawker was bought during bankruptcy. I don’t think there was any new content for many years.

Since Weinstein was mentioned, I have to admit I read Gawker and therefore was not surprised when hearing the allegations against him in the broader media because Gawker had been writing about him for years. They made some big, obviously embarrassing decisions (especially Denton’s stance on outing people), but imo got it right much more often than they got things wrong.

Gawker being terrible is a given, but they actually produced some good longform stuff for a while; so it's probably a good read.
