RIP INTERNET MILLENNIALS

Submitted by ub on

The Millennial Internet died. Tumblr, Twitter, Gawker, these were voices that defined the 2010s are now gone.

The shift in the digital landscape has been quite remarkable. Platforms that once defined an era are either evolving or fading away, reshaping how we perceive the internet and its role in our lives. The restructuring at Gawker Media and the changes at Twitter reflect this ongoing transformation.

Twitter is now X and its value has reportedly dropped by over seventy percent Sorry, Hollywood, this story does not have a here is no happy ending.

Gawker Media's company-wide restructuring generated a message on Slack, allegedly to optimize and sharpen all the sites that also included Jezebel, Deadspin, Lifehacker, and Gizmodo explaining that shifting personnel was needed.
