The now-defunct Gather site was always a joke, and a sorry excuse for a social media site. Just a sad place for no-talent, embittered wanna-be writers to criticize others and pretend they had any meaningful advice or purpose in life. I join many in the online community in saying we don't miss it and are glad it is in online limbo where it belongs.
Special shout out to its failure of a CEO, Tom Gerace, who is a hack and a wuss of the first order and who has hopefully either jumped off a bridge at this point or probably moved on to stain the online world with yet another failed venture.
Good Riddance!
