Kotaku are confusing (Gaming)

Sadly there aren't many games sites that don't post clickbait garbage any more. Even sadder is that most that don't have started selling premium membership in one form or another. Not sad because you have to pay, but sad because those seem to be the only options - clickbait, premium membership or death.

Kotaku is a strange one for me because the few good posts are almost completely drowned out by high-density garbage posts, much moreso than most other sites. They occupy the same brainspace for me as Buzzfeed's "Top 10 things your dog licked this morning" and it's no one's fault but their own that they have that reputation. That coupled with their caustic, holier-than-thou "journalistic integrity" attitude (which is completely undermined by 98% of their content) has left me pretty sour on them.

I appreciate their quality articles when they appear, but I'll wait for them to trickle down through my preferred sources/filters, rather than wading through their front page to find it.
