    BSJ is just under 10,000 subscribers 14 months in. I cannot find the source but I believe this figure is below the hoped for projections.

    Scroll all the way to the bottom of the front page, right hand corner as of this very moment says "8,950 members, 101 lifetime"

    But they grow a little more every day. I guarantee you not many Athletic cities have more than 10k subscribers

    Has anybody on this board ever hated anything as much as Reddy hates The Athletic?

    I bet most of the ones that have been up and running more than a year have at least 10K.

    Nah, I don't think so.

    Maybe Ragu and The Fed. But I'm going with Reddy and The Athletic.

    I don’t hate them at all. Just have extreme doubts about their business model. And I debate about it. Which, you know, I thought was what happened on message boards

    I transpo'ed the '8' and '9' in my head.
    Chicago has 30k according to that Slate article. And BSJ in a larger market is behind DK's growth rate. (Although the situation with the local papers makes a pure market size comparison incomplete.)

    I try to stay off threads that involve where I work but I have to weigh in here.
    Reddy, you hate us. Hey, that's your right. But let's not try to paint your passion as anything but hate. Everyone has access to your posting history. You joined us in April (about a week before I started at The Athletic). About 95 percent of your posts are on this thread. You rip not only the business model but the quality of our work. If you've said one good thing about The Athletic, I missed it.
    Again, everyone is entitled to an opinion and you have as much right to hate us as others do to love us.
    Just be honest about it, eh?

    Carry on.
