    How do people read giz? I block the ads, but still there’s a sticky video overlay, and “related” links everywhere… unreadable

          Gawker media was sued into the ground by a billionaire quite a few years back for posting an article about him being gay and now it just exists to make as much money from adverts as possible until it dies.

          It used to be quite a good group of sites for tech news and such.
