Holy E36 M3!!! That guy is scary...does he have a soul?

He needs to be put to death. I'm also amazed at how crappy the sites are; they are so loaded with crapware that they will lock up an average laptop, the links are done so childishly that only the terminally stupid will click. Yet he still makes money... I guess it's once again a demonstration of HL Mencken's 'no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public'.

Yep Emerson Spartz is a real-life supervillain just like Zuckerberg. Zuck makes his money killing privacy and Spartz makes his money choking journalism and writing to death. Pretty soon journalism will be a tiny niche industry done by amateurs and/or supported by a few wealthy patrons, because there will be no way for it to compete in a world of clickbait garbage. Spartz admits that he thinks "quality" means nothing; to him only popularity matters.
