    Exactly.

    When the rate per word is $0, we all suffer.

    That's what happens when you let citizen-journalists dictate the market.
    Nobody said these people needed to be taken seriously.
    And yet here we are.

    Well, the home page stories have not moved for nearly a week. Time to take it off my bookmarks. RIP.

    Yeah, it's done. Kind of amazing. So hard to build something, so easy to destroy it.

    Samer Kalaf just got hired by something called “The Outline”?

    LMAO. The Outline is a dumpster fire. Management fired its entire staff about a year ago.

    After reading Magary’s piece, I realize that the real domino-push that brought down Deadspin was the crappy journalism that sparked the lawsuit.

    So crappy journalism leads to downfall of website. I hope good journalists land on their feet, but c’mon. Let’s not romanticize this.

    I think I enjoyed it a little more than you. I often disagreed with their take on things, and their virtue signaling got to be hard to take at times. But it was usually entertaining.
