    The video only thing is dumb for a number of reasons - a reason not discussed yet is how it impacts data usage on phones.

    More providers are offering unlimited again, and they only throttle you down after ~20 gigs.

    Bingo, although I think a website featuring someone of Rosenthal's caliber is a better loss-leader and brand-builder than the current pile of trash.

    Never went to that site even though I used to write for them. Where is Travis with an explo about how shifting to video was a death kick? Oh right, he doesn't work there anymore

    Pivot to video is nothing but an executive shell game, done so that someone(s) in management can keep their job for another few years as they survive on the potential of monetizing video until everyone realizes that's a farce.
