You might not care much about Jezebel, but their parent company, G/O Media, also owns Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, Deadspin, The Root, The A.V. Club, The Takeout, The Onion, The Inventory, and Quartz.
So if you like any of those (Lemmy fucking loves The Onion, right?) then this news should concern you a bit.
Also, RIP Jezebel. Sometimes they were edgy and weird for no reason but they also did some solid reporting over the years.
It's a bit funny because people on Lemmy seem to viscerally hate all online advertising and everything connected to it, yet here many of them are, lamenting the end of a company caused by not enough ad revenue.
