Nick Denton is a pussyboy, a manipulative shit, and a turd-burgling Jew from hell. The founder and chief dildo of Gawker Media, he really, really hates it when anyone mocks or criticizes him, so we're happy to fill in for the cowardice of "mainstream media" and his former employees, who are welcome to anally-raep themselves with their nondisclosure agreements.

Nick has always lied. About everything. You don't build a $300 million advertising conduit and shitburst overnight, nor without making enemies. He would put Javascript-controlled twitching animated ads on your mom's cuntlips if he could. He knows his audience---morons sitting at desks in corporate offices, goofing off on their employer's dime and looking the most ADHD crap they can find. As the TOW article says, he's been buying up competing blogs and shutting them down or folding them into his autistic empire of crap. A massive redesign in 2011 caused much lol and buttfail, and as of today when you visit gawker.com, it tries to load 280 different javascripts from various advertisers, causing your broadband connection to shit itself. So thank him.

He and his whores have been in a butt-snarfing contest with VICE for the last couple of years, and GamerGate was graet for his site stats, as the trolls and the warriors of lol went after him with bitchforks. Despite being "an obscure blog operator", now everyone hates him. Nice!

He got gay-married in 2013, so throw some rice at your computer screen. And the King of All Social Media banned any use of social media at the nuptials, because the public screamer is a "private citizen" who "values his privacy".

His pissing match with VICE

In 2014 Gawker ran an article about how VICE employees, Brooklyn hipster assfags one and all, were being screwed. [1] Which is fucking hilarious, as Gawker itself was being sued in a class action by a group of its own former "interns".

   
 
A more specific complaint: the salaries at Vice are low. Very low. Even as Shane Smith watches his millions increase, his employees are pissed that they can hardly afford rent in Brooklyn. One intern two years ago was excited to receive a full time position—until the company offered him a salary of $20K. Employees who have worked there full time within the past two years say that salaries well under $30K are routine for "producers." (One such producer said that after waiting in vain for more than a year for a raise to push their salary up to $30K, they left Vice last year after seeing executives spend what appeared to be thousands of dollars on drugs for a company party.) Editors who worked on Vice's verticals (music, video, fashion, sports, etc.) tell us they started at salaries of $24K-$26K, sometimes rising to a whopping $30K after six months or a year of good performance. For editors who run verticals, salaries are "about $40K," said one ex-employee. And that's at the upper end— "I can tell you that as one of the higher level editors of one of the highest trafficked verticals, I make less than 40k a year," another editor told us.

VICE's Shane Smith, who really isn't much different from Nick (apart from preferring the cuntjuices of young virgins over cock), responded with this burst of love and affection.

   
 
In addition to this compensation package, all VICE employees who meet a length-of-service criterion of two years are automatically enrolled in the company’s Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR) program, a stock-based compensation plan whereby employees receive payments based on the value of VICE stock in a liquidity event. The VICE SAR program was launched in late 2013, with long-term employees grandfathered into the program and granted SAR options that recognized their dedication and excellence for the early growth years of the company. As VICE rises in value, so do the value of the SARs, and all employees in the program benefit. This is, of course, 100 percent contrary to Gawker’s assertion in their smear job. But then again, since when did Gawker actually care about the truth?

And thus did the lulz begin. If you can call this dogshit lulzy. Having a sip from the Gowanus Canal would be more entertaining. And tastier. [2][3][4][5]

He got gay-married in 2013. Throw some rice at your computer display.

Peter Kafka interviews Denton

Denton on The Today Show

MOAR

All of Nick's butt slaves hate him. And he hates himself. [] So, naturally, one of them took a screencap of his private Facebook and leaked it (again).

Nick responded by posting the following butthurt rant, wherein he implicitly threatens to murder whoever leaked it whenever he finds out who he is, before deleting his account. So long sucker.

Look who's talking: [6]

   
 
"We have a reputation for being snarky and jaded and without principle here, and that's a little dated," Denton told us last night. "I'm a little tired of it."
 

 
 

After all that shit, at the end of 2014 Nick decided to GTFO of Dodge, though he's still the "CEO" of the "thing" he built.
