The rich old cat ladies are dying off and leaving their money to the little kitties. So they were running out of other peoples’ money?

Naming a company after the most evil woman in history wouldn’t be a good idea.

You could tell something was coming when “The Patriarchy” became a punchline instead of an arch-enemy.

“Unfortunately, our business model and the audiences we serve across our network did not align with Jezebel’s,” Jim Spanfeller, the chief executive of G/O Media, wrote in the memo,


https://g-omedia.com/

G/O Media is a premium digital publishing company with a portfolio of brands defined by journalism that is thought-leading, independent and rabidly passionate.

We attract fans who reflect that: influential word-of-mouthers who are the go-to’s within their social sets for opinion and for recommendation.

Our synced content ecosystem encompasses lifestyle, popular culture, current affairs and vertical passion points, allowing our partners to capture market share, both broad stroke and hyper targeted.

G/O Media sites fire brand loyalty, boast enviable engagement metrics and deliver an untapped—unduplicated—contemporary consumer versus the competition.

So basically, Jezebel is out of fashion?

Amazing. I won a cover-all game of buzzword bingo in one press release.

So I should put you down as a "I'll think about it" to a lifetime subscription to Hillary Clinton Monthly?

Not exactly a first choice brand name for most people. But spot on for a femo site.

Not a bad name for a web site. I might be willing to put up a few dollars to buy the intellectual property and build a right wing Christian site around it. $100 bucks for the name, site, service and trade marks. They get to keep all existing content.

I guess the feminiazi didn’t make enough money selling “free cat!” ads.

So, I’ll take a different, less optimistic view here. The site no longer serves a purpose because its extremist views can be found all over social media and the news now.
