A downturn in advertising led to the "excruciating" decision, its owner said.

Feminist media site Jezebel is suspending publication, as its owner reckons with a downturn in online advertising.

G/O Media chief Jim Spanfeller announced the move in a memo to staff, calling it an “excruciating” decision.

    I mean, they’re allowed to comment. You don’t have to only have a positive opinion to be allowed to make a comment

      I didn’t say they’re not allowed to comment. It was a shitty and useless comment, and I’m allowed to point that out, as well as pointing out the irony of taking the time to comment that you don’t care. Thanks bud.

          It’s because these former mods of /r/ whatever have to gatekeep stuff instead of the age old forum behavior of zero moderation and move along and don’t feed trolls. They feel entitled to meaninglessly comment about how someone’s comment was meaningless.
