- The Hairpin was a beloved indie women's interest website that ran from 2010 to 2018.
- Something happened where the domain owners didn't renew it in time, and a DJ bought it.
- Now the site has new spammy content written by AI and its old bylines have been replaced with men's names.
In 2011, the small women's interest blog The Hairpin broke new ground in the field of visual journalism with the iconic post "Women laughing alone with salad."
It was just a collection of stock images of women eating salad, and yet it said more about the state of women and society than hundreds of thousands of words.
