AndrewP posted:I think they should charge more when they offer a month-to-month. Right now access is priced at $6 a month. This seems so cheap compared to magazine and newspaper subscriptions pre-internet, but subscription prices for everything are so low these days and also everyone thinks that because you're not getting a physical thing delivered to your house it's not worth as much. Yeah if the goal is to be completely free of VC and ad money, that is kinda what is needed. I just don't think most people will want to pay that much. Like even at the current price point, I would be genuinely surprised if they surpassed 50,000 subscribers. the gawker sites were hilariously bad for years, but it's impressive that the new leadership has found so many creative ways to make the UX worse

That was literally my first thought, "what lovely spyware / mineware are they running on this site now" Luckily I have figured out that I'm an old filthy casual gamer now so I never have to read another 4000-word article about The Last Of Us 2 again.

Just making me more and more happy I installed a pi-hole on my local network. Need to learn how to run a VPN on it at the same time so I can get all that ad blocking while away from home, too...

For context: Atlanta United announced an interview with Barstool Sam, people called out the team, they deleted the tweet and the podcast episode. Sam got mad and wrote a screed about being "canceled" and I have no interest in reading it, but it apparently mentioned a bunch of soccer writers with a bunch of whataboutism. Grant might just not like that photoshop (it's gone around before) but whatever, screw barstool and anyone who works for them. -- A glorious story in 4 acts: https://twitter.com/justnfields/status/1292618070545108992 https://twitter.com/dannykanell/status/1292624533292298241 https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/status/1292567458231005185 https://twitter.com/edsbs/status/1292676856483926016?s=20

Metapod posted:What is it I mean he is generally a covid-truther but also he was gloating about players tweeting #WeWantToPlay because he assumed that meant they agreed with him that it was a media creation, and then players actually turned it into an attempt to organize and demand consistent safety standards and other things. As best I can tell Clay is just ignoring that part of it, and other people Kannell who were praising the players for making their voices heard are now suddenly like "wait not like that" MourningView fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Aug 10, 2020 |

Yeah Grants a bit of a Wife Guy, I mean I get it when shes by all accounts a boss doctor during a pandemic and yeah its good to poo poo on Barstool regardless. SI also fired him over some complete BS and I'm hoping he can find a place to write for. He's a pretty awesome soccer mind with a ton of connections in the US game, apparently he's doing a deep dive podcast about Freddy Adu.

It'll just be time number 5000 that he said vague mafia threat-sounding thing that don't actually have any meaning because he speaks mostly in nonsensical phrases that are strung together by his brain doing the equivalent if mashing the middle option on autofill and letting the chips fall where they may.

If you listened to rap around 2004-2005 that number is permanently seared into your brain and you got the joke and if you didn't you have no idea what he's talking about and are baffled why a reporter would ask people to harass the president of a AAC school. I did call it back in the day and iirc you just got a voicemail or something.
