Didn’t this stupid website used to help you, you know, hack life or something?
Anything that is, or once was affiliated with Gawker / GMG is, in its current state, a cringe-inducing, shambling husk of whatever it once was. My muscle memory still directs me to a number of those blogs and everyday I recoil at what has become of them.
RIP AV Club
I like most of what Jalopnik has at least.
I unsubscribed when they had an article about how rimming isn’t unsanitary and how to do it properly. I cannot describe how grossed out I was.
Unfortunately everything is an ad now. It’s the only way these sites are capable of surviving.
I feel like I’m turning into ‘that guy’ again but cryptocurrency could help this out.
a) connect wallet to lifehacker
b) have fractions of a cent taken out to unlock articles
I know people can bypass it/copy paste, but at the end of the day it would be another source of revenue. They are surviving as is, but barely.
I feel like you’d be interested in the Web Monetization API, if you’re not already aware of it.
Very cool thanks for sharing. I need to discover more projects like these.
It used to be pretty good, but that was over ten years ago now.
There was a time when Lifehacker was a place you could go for neat little things that could be accomplished with objects at hand to make life easier. There was such a time for many, many places on this great Internet of ours.
It was lit when it was Gina and crew.
It really was, I have a clear recollection of it being one of my top sites for a good year or two. Then the bad times came.
Lifehacker is just click bait shit now. Once upon a time in a far away land it was good.
Lifehacker got me into everything tech 15 years ago. It is nothing like it used to be, it’s very sad.
