Here's a reminder that Wired is one of the many properties owned by Conde Nast, which also include GQ, Vogue, Teen Vogue, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, AND REDDIT.
Condé Nast Publications acquired the site in October 2006. In 2011, Reddit became an independent subsidiary of Condé Nast's parent company, Advance Publications. In October 2014, Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto. Their investment valued the company at $500 million then. In July 2017, Reddit raised $200 million for a $1.8 billion valuation, with Advance Publications remaining the majority stakeholder. In February 2019, a $300 million funding round led by Tencent brought the company's valuation to $3 billion.
It's a bit complicated, owing to how public-traded companies work. And Chinese tech giant Tencent now owns more of Reddit than Conde Nast does or did. But it's important to remember the past and origins.
Arstechnica was bought by Wired/Conde Nast a few years ago. Also one of their primary Orange man bad writers was arrested for being a pedophile about a year ago!
[quoting spez] A community like The_Donald and the man the Donald, the president, feed off of attention. We should look at, are they effective in getting attention through this sort of toxic behavior?
That was a long time ago like 2005ish was the last time Wired was worth reading.
Edit: The fault is, being actually in the tech industry just became too damn lucrative to waist time being a journalist, and being a journalist became too unprofitable at the same time. If you have any clue as to what you were talking about in the tech world, you wouldn't be writing for wired.
Also, NDA's have become exponentially more commonplace and more iron clad.
tldr Wired has been another Kotaku for over 10 years now.
Long, and very slanted, but worth the read. 'Author' is a 'longtime' Reddit mod. And clearly an SJW commie.
Edit, added: Gripes about us posting truths that he doesn't approve of:
"TITLE: Caught on Video=> “Gays Must Die” Says Islamic Speaker at Orlando Mosque
TITLE: Milo Yiannopoulos on Twitter: “Western capitalist democracy gave women and gays equal footing in society. Islam is here to roll the clock back.”"
You are exactly right. I'm in Bullitt county just waiting for Louisville to explode, guaranteed to happen. Hope they dont try to come out to the burbs, we will have to send them back where they came from!
If I have to watch Dandy Andy on TV much longer I'm going to choke. What a little twerp!
epic takedown? We all left. Now all I do is make sockpuppet accounts, percolate them for 96hours then troll the fuck out of reddit. Right now redditors think a massive brigade is going on and has been going on for months on end. Because it is.
They were warned, they were told that if they tried to Stump The Trump they would get the Curse. So they fucked around and found out. Now excuse me, time to go burn some more accounts telling faggots how much they suck and why.
it isn't like Twitter or faceberg where you have to jump through hoops. Go to reddit, make an acocunt, DO NOT USE AN EMAIL, find the subs you want to troll, make a few comments on the 9 minute timer, make them noncommittal and wait until the automoderator releases you.
Or you can get devious and go the other route and join in on their side and work your way in until you get a discord invite or a telegram number. But then you had better use a burner email and phone number. But getting that info is more for turning it over to the diggers on other sites and monitoring them. They are scared shitless of being doxxed.
https://10minutemail.com/ is a great resource - use it. It can help to get around the "wait five minutes before posting" thing. ..I think.. Anyway, no harm in using it.
LOL. The left: So virtuous and so superior that all of their ideas require that no one is allowed to challenge them, provide an alternative, and requires mass brainwashing and omission.
I've also never saw a comment on here (or the old sub) where a Trump supporter talked about disowning their leftist parents when I would see dozens of comments on /r/politics where libtards were congratulating each other for disowning their Trump-supporting parents. Those people are fucking deranged.
Pure propaganda. The left needs crap like this right now to feel better. Writing articles about "violent rhetoric" about Trump supporters while lefties are burning down cities and rioting nightly is extremely disingenuous. Celebrating censorship is pathetic.
Reddit mods are typical little crybabies that abuse their power, always. I got banned in a gaming subreddit a year or so ago - I was being polite, never got actioned on that sub, never picked fights, nothing, but some obnoxious little cuntface got triggered and posted 'fuck you asshole" at me - and I got banned for just responding. It was something stupid, like 'Sure, pal." When I questioned the mod - and why the person who posted "fuck you" didn't get banned, I got 'Shouldn't have replied."
Nuked my account on the spot, never made another, glad I never gave them an email.
These retards have to realize we are stronger now than we ever were shackled to Reddit... But whatever makes it easier to cuddle up to their wife and bull at night.
The Hate-Fueled Rise of The Jedi -- and Its Epic Takedown
by Sheev Palpatine
"The notorious cult trafficked in violent rhetoric, growing a prodigious following over five million years. Here's how -- and why -- the Empire finally shut it down."
Damnit! I went there to simply post thedonald.win in the comment section... but alas... like all leftists... they've banned the comment section since they're afraid of losing control of their bullshit narrative.
I fucking hate modern "writers" all using the same tired, lame-ass, internet buzzwords that are all used roughly 2 years past their prime. No art to the writing. No craft. Just a constant need to seem "hip" and edgy.
Edit: And he uses an image with author cited “Mojo Wang”.
These people literally lack decency and class. No wonder they reject Trump and instead embrace racism, violence, communist ideology, and anti-freedom rhetoric through DNC.
Also, this is why I'm not renewing my WIRED subscription. It has gotten left leaning just like most other forms of print media. They can suck my fat white cock.
I canceled my subscription once every other/third page became an advertisement. With no explanation I got 3 years of their trash magazines even after I stopped paying for them
Huffman says he did recognize one thing about The_Donald early on, though: Its success was not an accident, and its moderators (dysfunctional or not) had a gift—one shared by candidate Trump himself. “That community,” he says, “was expert at not being technically against the rules.”
So /r/The_Donald followed the rules and was still banned for wrong think. About sums up Reddit in total.
Note- I was banned from /r/eatcheapandhealthy for daring to state sour cream and onion potato chips aren't healthy and doubling down with proof from legitimate sources when "called out" on it.
Nope. And now that they've outed themselves they don't have a whole lot of options moving forward. This is where things are going to get really interesting...
Epic is starting a free speech platform which generates millions of impressions, which may indeed rival R at some point in the near future. Where's that article?
Epic take down? They flicked a switch and it was gone. It wasn't some big legal victory. It's weird that we supposedly had the "violent rhetoric" yet it's the left burning down the cities.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA WOW what a bunch of losers. Wait til they hear about theDonald.win. They can’t take us down on our own platform. We left cause we refuse to be quiet and PC or conform to their commie ways. What are you scared of you Whiney little bitches? Oh, that’s why cause they don’t like being called exactly what they are.
They were a great magazine when they focused on tech way back in the day, but have completely devolved into SJW trash.
Here's a reminder that Wired is one of the many properties owned by Conde Nast, which also include GQ, Vogue, Teen Vogue, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, AND REDDIT.

I just unsubscribed this year. I used to really like wired.
Me too. Was a subscriber from the very first issue too. It was a great magazine. Too bad it's SJW trash now.
Thats initially why i signed up.

"One World Trade Center"?
I guess "New World Order Trade Center" was to obvious.
Right, and they weren't going to call it "The Kalergi Kultural Komplex" either!
The tech website Ars Technica did this too. Back in the day it was near 100% tech articles, but go there now and it's 100% "Orange Man Bad"
Arstechnica was bought by Wired/Conde Nast a few years ago. Also one of their primary Orange man bad writers was arrested for being a pedophile about a year ago!
Gotta shove the propaganda down people's throat every second or they might start forming their own opinions.
And here's how we know the author is a moron:
Proceeds to give mass attention.
That was a long time ago like 2005ish was the last time Wired was worth reading.

tldr Wired has been another Kotaku for over 10 years now.
I remember they put out a great article on that giant NSA data center in Utah years ago, it's a shame they went all authoritarian zealot.
Exactly the domreddit was pretty much dead months prior its shutdown
Its interesting how they talk about all this hate whereas there weren't any hate on that dom. Probably the cleanest subreddit whole reddit
The way they say oh Trump is hateful and divisive when its THEM who hate and want to divide
Well, to be fair, we do hate commies.
And are fans of short helicopter rides.
Commies hate themselves too, let’s be honest.
Commies are pretty much the number 1 killer of commies. Though it may be a tie with obesity these days.
Yeah, Stalin killed commies wholesale.
If the news you're reading uses the word 'epic', you might be a retard.
Sounds like a BOMBSHELL!

Please archive link in future, dont give the bastards clicks

How about adblock?
The article presents the good things of T_D as if they are bad things.

They are scared shitless of being doxxed.
it also helps to make comments on hot topic issues but use no logic or reason so you'll fit in and gather upvotes.
https://10minutemail.com/ is a great resource - use it. It can help to get around the "wait five minutes before posting" thing. ..I think.. Anyway, no harm in using it.
if you have to ask you don't need to know
they're going to be so sad to learn we're still here and stronger than ever
train
no brakes
choo choo mf'ers
drinks soylent, plays vidya, writes shitty article
Do they talk about how it was so-called "anti police posts" that triggered the quarantine and subsequent ban?
To think if TD survived till George Floyd we'd come full circle and cop hating would be 100% PC
Why they HAD to ban the T_D before all the anti-cop shit hit the front page.
Otherwise their hypocrisy would be too much for even those slimey fucks.
'trafficked in violent rhetoric' hahahahaha....good lord. "Notorious T_D" sounds like a rap name.
LOL. The left: So virtuous and so superior that all of their ideas require that no one is allowed to challenge them, provide an alternative, and requires mass brainwashing and omission.
I used to subscribe to Wired in the 90's. Expensive big magazine, but worth it. Stopped 20 years ago when they started going leftie
Exactly. Same trajectory as National Geographic.
They do know it still exists or is the article just being used for google search results to confuse people searching for us?
They must have noticed td.win's rapid growth and are trying to make it look like were a bunch of low energy losers not worth looking into.
We'll get more attention now. Streisand Effect.
The comments and posts in r/politics, r/latestagecapitalism, and r/socialism were way more hate filled than anything I saw on TD
I've also never saw a comment on here (or the old sub) where a Trump supporter talked about disowning their leftist parents when I would see dozens of comments on /r/politics where libtards were congratulating each other for disowning their Trump-supporting parents. Those people are fucking deranged.
*are

"(I myself am a longtime moderator.)"
lol go fucking figure this guy is a mod
Imagine bragging about being a virtual janitor

Yep... can't fight back. Thats racist, white fragility and toxic masculinity all in one.
Did Ghislaine sign that open letter?
Not so hard when 90% of the site is moderated by the same 2 dozen people.
Nice new rules, that explicitly permit hate against white people.
These retards have to realize we are stronger now than we ever were shackled to Reddit... But whatever makes it easier to cuddle up to their wife and bull at night.
Stronger as in the community is larger, and growing quickly. I think without having to worry about reddit mods, we get way spicier memes as well.

"The notorious cult trafficked in violent rhetoric, growing a prodigious following over five million years. Here's how -- and why -- the Empire finally shut it down."
The Empire Did Nothing Wrong!!
fuck wired magazine
Epic takedown? We’ve grown stronger and have less censorship now....
Wired is deep state propaganda.
Damnit! I went there to simply post thedonald.win in the comment section... but alas... like all leftists... they've banned the comment section since they're afraid of losing control of their bullshit narrative.
EPIC TAKEDOWN!
AKA, casually leave of our own free will when a new and better platform was made available.
"...trafficked in violet rhetoric." - hahaha :')
Hey kid! Wanna buy some #Hatespeech?
I fucking hate modern "writers" all using the same tired, lame-ass, internet buzzwords that are all used roughly 2 years past their prime. No art to the writing. No craft. Just a constant need to seem "hip" and edgy.
Unoriginal, low-IQ, smoothbrains.
i'm stealing this
thank you
Epic take down? LMFAO!
Guess what? They are all owned and controlled by China.
Robert Peck is a pedo
Edit: And he uses an image with author cited “Mojo Wang”.
These people literally lack decency and class. No wonder they reject Trump and instead embrace racism, violence, communist ideology, and anti-freedom rhetoric through DNC.
Flailing ghosts of print media. Following the same formula as others. Hate, fear and lies. That is all they have left to sell.
Who is sad that we are no longer on Reddit? Anyone? This platform is so much better. Epic my ass.
The author goes on Twitter. Immediate regrets it. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
https://twitter.com/deepwinter8/status/1290328055337095170
Shameless plug.
Fucking GLORIOUS!
Also, this is why I'm not renewing my WIRED subscription. It has gotten left leaning just like most other forms of print media. They can suck my fat white cock.
I canceled my subscription once every other/third page became an advertisement. With no explanation I got 3 years of their trash magazines even after I stopped paying for them
Dont hire sjws its the same as injecting aids into your system.
So /r/The_Donald followed the rules and was still banned for wrong think. About sums up Reddit in total.
Note- I was banned from /r/eatcheapandhealthy for daring to state sour cream and onion potato chips aren't healthy and doubling down with proof from legitimate sources when "called out" on it.
Lmao epic takedown? These losers are absolutely worthless.
I always call it an epic takedown when the opponent never falls and actually beats down the opponent even more
It’s true. This man has no dick.
Shut down?
Lmao
"The reports of my takedown have been greatly exaggerated."
Ok, I get it.
Wired is DONE
OK, nothing more to see here.
f reddit.
"Shut it down"
Oy vey, they aren't even hiding it.
Nope. And now that they've outed themselves they don't have a whole lot of options moving forward. This is where things are going to get really interesting...
Epic is starting a free speech platform which generates millions of impressions, which may indeed rival R at some point in the near future. Where's that article?

Oh good another thing to boycott I already dont use
I canceled my subscription the day I read their "death of gamers" article
Is there a possibility of filing a lawsuit here? Sounds like slander to my ears.
If CW2 kicks off these media-types aren't going to like the attention they get.
there won't be a civil war. there will be a lot of dead commies though
Yeah dude, that was epic how they completely disregarded child porn and rape all over reddit yet focused heavily on some frog memes.
Wired is ASSHOE!
I love how they shut it down long after everyone has already left 🤣
