It’s been saved in my Tumblr drafts forever and I just want to say this in case I...

For whatever reason I’ve got a lot to get off my chest about this Gawker/Tumblr/HRO polemic, and yet I don’t really feel comfortable opening my mouth, since despite the fact that it expresses a sentiment I always find pretty disagreeable—that of a dangerously self-congratulatory elitism—it’s…

I feel like Google behind a paywall makes more sense than NYT behind a paywall. Not that anyone has floated that yet (that I know of).
