“Old people believe all that bullshit Fake News on their facebook home,” say I, a tumblr youth™, as I reblog an indignant social justice-flavoured post from mic dot com without fact checking. 

BTW, mic dot com has multiple tumblrs and some of them are as follows:

• micdotcom
  
• the-future-now
• the-movemnt
• this-is-life-actually

And if you aren’t already aware, they are a shit company that uses its indignant social justice-flavored posts for clicks even as they do things like fire their four-months-pregnant Connections editor the week after her wedding, without warning. AFTER RUNNING A STORY ABOUT HOW THE USA NEEDS BETTER MATERNITY LEAVE/PROTECTIONS.

This, after they DID NOT fire the guy who lied about a death in his family so he could go build a treehouse and blog about it.

Also 99% of their ~top notch news~ is Huffington Post-style aggregation and NOT original reporting.

SO. Side-eye anything and everything you see by them, because there’s a good chance it’s just clickbait.

Thanks for putting out their other blogs, I’ve seen the eye-rolling shit from the-movement already.

Don’t forget blatant misinformation they put out

The founder is also former Goldman Sachs.

*AIR HORN NOISES*

There’s never a bad time to re-up this post, but today Mic has been Mic’ing around in spectactular fashion.

Today, the founder just laid off half the editorial staff, including the only woman reporter of color in the newsroom.

- Mic is laying off staff as it pivots to video

- Mic Lays Off Dozens Just Weeks After Promising Not To

- Twitter thread by Sarah Amy Harvard, the now ex-only-woman-reporter-of-color

TL;DR - Mic.com is a crap site that treats its people like crap. It doesn’t deserve your reblogs. On the plus side, it’s an aggregator, so I promise that news is somewhere else.
