Little known fact: one of the people let go in the great Denton Blog-o-Caust ‘08 was the copy editor for Gizmodo and Lifehacker.
You may ask, “Isn’t a copy editor crucial to on-the-fly nature of tech reporting or giant listicles that focus on how you can be more productive while reading giants lists of explanation, thus capturing you in an endless paradox that can only be broken by some flash games?"
That answer is no. The only people who use copy editors are newspapers, magazines, PR firms and Ad Agencies. And look how they’re doing.
Also—they didn’t post about how delicious that goddamn brownie was. Because that brownie was so delicious, nearly 2,000 people clicked to find out why.
The answer to the crumbling medium of print? To restoring jobs and providing income? To getting me a steady paycheck once more?
Brownies. Motherfucking Brownies, people.
Then again, I bake cakes. So by this logic, I’ll be back at MSNBC by Monday. And this time, I’ll only bake for Shuster.
