Declan MacManus posted:i mean fixing games renders the result of them illegitimate and it’s apparently easier to fix the games than the nba lets on AND there were/are likely other corrupt refs who conspired to fix games and were never caught Fine but this is only getting brought up because the Rockets/their fans think Foster is out to get them. The leap of logic from "bad ref, possibly corrupt" to "FIXING GAMES EXCLUSIVELY AGAINST MY TEAM" is the dumb part

MourningView posted:They do a pretty good job of making it clear that those are sponsored content most of the time but yeah it looks silly when one of these pieces is right next to like seven Amazon ads. Deadspin editorial doesn't really have any control over the kinja deals stuff or the ads though. No one there is exactly shy about saying that Univision sucks. Yeah, it's handled relatively well and they'd probably be dead without it. It's just funny to accuse another writer of ruining a hallowed brand with something you think resembles sponsored content when your outlet relies heavily on actual sponsored content

Dexo posted:No they don't, acceleration and forced growth is why all this poo poo is failing. Because the hedge funds that own all the papers are just seeking more profits and shuttering them when they don't meet expectations and absurd growth. Even with 500,000 subs they're still probably burning through cash, so they need to be profitable at some point

The online other business models are A) Bombard the readers with banner and pop up ads, collect click revenue or B) Pivot to video and add unskippable ads at the beginning of each video. Also most of the guys they poached have been replaced pretty easily.

All that's true but even more mundane stuff helped kill off newspapers, like the death of classifieds and public notice requirements. That used to bring in a gigantic portion of newspapers' income and it basically disappeared overnight
