Didn’t this stupid website used to help you, you know, hack life or something?
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.
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.
It used to be pretty good, but that was over ten years ago now.
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.
