Huffington Post is remarkably ugly to look at and I find their commenters inane.
Nick Denton: What I Read @ The Atlantic Wire
Words that come to mind in view of the above: “And thou, Brutus?” Interesting statement by Mr. Denton in view of the comments that the new Jezebel layout is eliciting.
Also from the same interview:
Oh, I know what I do find annoying! Entitled commenters. There is a certain type, probably the reader who would have written endless letters to the editor in an earlier era. They look much more numerous – in the comments or on Twitter – than they are. And they feel that writers should cater entirely to them, that they are the only readers who matter somehow. Self-aggrandizing commenters are even more annoying than self-aggrandizing bloggers!
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
