Nope. We have a bigger staff than we ever have. We don't consciously go after "click bait"—our traffic is great. And we run those "insightful, funny, and meaningful articles" all the time.

The numbers don't bear that out. Our traffic is higher and the number of comments hasn't decreased. Maybe some diehards left, but most people have stuck around.

You use Chrome? What version? PC or Mac?

I disagree with both of you, obviously. Cage, the Great Job Internet stories you mention are about 1/50th of our content. If you don't like them, you don't have to read them. Ditto AVQA (though you're taking that "couple" concept a bit too literally). Next week we're running a 9,000-word Random Roles with Kurtwood…

Holy crap. Hang in there.

But we need to know it's out there, so we can never let something like that happen again. Eternal vigilance, etc.

Cheatahs are great. Google "The Swan" & give it a listen.

No, we only have so much time. But Schmitty is always welcome.

Coming soon to Podmass.

I had to dig through his IMDB page to find something I'd recognize him from. I finally was going through his images and came up with a big ol' nope. He was quite funny here, though.

Yeah, because a couple weeks ago they weren't ANYWHERE near the goal. They were at like 10%.

Well, Tasha Robinson was covering that for us, and she's no longer here. We could do a drop-in, though.

Updated! Wow, they really pulled it out.

There are others? The numbers haven't dipped at all—in fact, they're better.

Not really. Matthew was looking for a home for this story and we liked it. Although we run long-form stuff all the time, yeah, this is a different style for us. But it's not unprecedented, either.

We run two a week—out of roughly 50 articles, not including TV Club—those are hardly Buzzfeed/Cracked numbers.

Wha? It's been every week since mid-January. Mondays at noon.

Eh, it was just reset on Wednesday anyway.

Wow, that's amazing. What a trooper.

That was on our initial list, but it's about infidelity, so it doesn't qualify, sadly. But I did rewatch the video & totally forgot that Eric Roberts was in it.
