    Io9 is a Gawker media site, for those who might wish to deny them ad revenue.

    I certainly don't spend my days wishing I could give gawker media revenue; but I'm also not sure why I might specifically be interested in denying it to them? Can you elaborate?

      They're tabloid but at least they aren't complete clickbait garbage. Compare to Buzzfeed for example.

        Gotcha. I actually almost referenced Buzzfeed as a site I would prefer to avoid. Not so much to deprive them of revenue, but just because it is a complete and utter waste. If I could pick one site to remove from the internet ... ok... I'd pick facebook without a 2nd thought. But buzzfeed is in the top 10.
