March 21, 2024Why do people hate Kotaku?
Well, it IS part of the Gawker Media empire, and as you said, they have clickbait titles on a lot of their stories. The site itself likely also catches flack for the Kinja commenting system, a hallmark of the current Gawker Media Empire. I used to go on Jalopnik, Deadspin and Gawker much more than I do now (February 2012-ish,) and when they did their major redesign they pooped all over the commenters. Previously, if you were new to the site you could't just go and post " shitcock " without posting something else worthy of getting 'approved' first by another (starred) commenter. Nowadays, you can create burner accounts and tell all your "friends" about how your cousin's wife makes a bajillion dollars a month by working from home. Without any consequence. It tends to dial up the noise in commenting section. As a result, the commenting community on all of Gawker has suffered (to varying degrees). As for recently, I don't have any direct knowledge of any shenanigans. More on reddit.com

January 15, 2025 - Ten years later I landed a job at the video game and culture website Kotaku Australia and its sister sites, Lifehacker and Gizmodo. Those brands kickstarted my career.

r/Games on Reddit: Kotaku EIC Resigns Over New Editorial Edict
October 20, 2023 - To think all this happened because their parent company Gawker decides to out a Billionaire and then report on Hulk Hogan's sex tape. I hate that all the affiliate blogs got caught in the crossfire, but with the way Gawker conducted themselves they absolutely had the lawsuit coming. ... Don't read or like Kotaku anymore after it lost Schrier and a few other good writers, but I dread the day it shuts down because a certain part of the internet will take it as a win regardless of the circumstances and be absolutely insufferable.
