I’ve dropped them from my newsfeed. If they’re just going to be writing AI summaries of what other sites have already published, and getting the facts wrong as a result, you’re literally better off reading nothing rather than read their articles, and trying to read them just encourages them because they’re still getting ad revenue.

Gizmodo is and has been the worst for a long time. In fact, that entire network of sites has been a rats nest of garbage for years. Unsurprising that they’d go this route.
