I miss that higher-quality version of LifeHacker. There was always fluff but the original incarnation was pretty cool.&lt;p&gt;I remember when the original founder (Gina Trapani) stepped aside, it sounded to me like she was burnt out on the &amp;quot;post 76786 updates a day, no matter what&amp;quot; business model that they&amp;#x27;d found themselves stuck with... although, she was the one at the helm, so ¯\_(ツ)_&amp;#x2F;¯ The idea of posting about multiple new &amp;quot;life hacks&amp;quot; per freaking day is just so obviously absurd. Life is hackable but not that hackable.&lt;p&gt;Hell, I wouldn&amp;#x27;t mind a much slower version of that site. 1-2 thoughtful articles a week. Then maybe 1-2 roundup posts of smaller news items.&lt;p&gt;Call it &lt;i&gt;Slowhacker.&lt;/i&gt;</text></comment>
