The new private equity owners of the former Gawker group of web site have made some major changes to the user experience on their sites but more importantly, have laid off some writers and warned others to stay in their lanes and keep politics out of sites that aren't supposed to be for that. These writers are losing their minds but I think it's about time and will hopefully (but likely not) teach them a lesson they should have learned years ago. I talk about what this could mean for these sites and others that operate in a similar way.
