Yeah I was shocked at how low that average was. I’m actually surprised the US number is even that low. Feels like everyone is 70+

This website failed because a bunch of vampiric rich Boomer white men thought they knew how to strongarm a group of workers into capitulating to their disastrous ideas of what people want in a website in 2019. Making the user experience terrible and the content worse is not the commenters’ fault.

I like that “the planet is dying and we need to come together to help fix it before we’re all dead” is now “preaching”

I literally have no fucking idea how political-ish shit is allowed here but what took down Deadspin. How the hell are these rules consistent?

Tell your thin-skinned incompetent owners to turn the comments back on at Deadspin so we can continue to shit all over them for destroying their most popular site.

I think Samer and Luis are still around too. Not sure why they’re sticking around, tbh.

BUT I DEMAND BOXSCORES AND PITHY POSTGAME COMMENTS FROM THE ATHLETES AND COACHES, DAMMIT. NOTHING ELSE.

This is the perfect eulogy for Deadspin. Thank you.

So your executives flooded the blogs with ads and auto-play videos on Deadspin, fired the editor, incited a revolt by the readers and the writers, lost basically the entire staff, and then killed the comments section of the remaining posts? And turned off the feedback email because they didn’t like what they were…

Sadly ironic that you’re listed under the “Staff” tab of this thread...

True, “stupid” was probably a poor word choice. More like “intentionally negligent in order to expedite their preferred outcome of stripping down G-O to the bone and selling off the parts for profit.”

Hi welcome to Deadspin Bob, I’ve been reading this site since 2007 every day and this is the way it’s always been here. It’s a great site because it’s not purely about sports. If you want a sports site, there are literally tens of thousands of them that will give you the fucking box score and some pithy postgame…

Absolutely unbelievable. Actually, very believable. Worst leadership imaginable, and literally everyone saw this coming. I can’t imagine being that fucking stupid.

These dumb motherfuckers running this place stuck autoplay ads everywhere because a fucking insurance company gave them $1 million but then when they realized that all the readers hated it, the insurance company bailed on the deal. Thus leaving the readers extremely pissed about the shitty format and leaving the…

But seriously, how the fuck is the Funbag still allowed but Barry gets canned for not sticking to sprotz? It’s like the leadership is a bunch of clueless bumbling morons or something?

THIS ISN’T 100% ABOUT SPORTZ, I’M NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN. I WANT ALL SPORTS ALL THE TIME AND NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD THAT COULD MAKE ME A BETTER AND MORE INFORMED PERSON. THANKS.

This is the last day of this site, isn’t it? :-(((

Haha glad I’m not the only one!

Right? There are literally THOUSANDS of sites that “stick to sports.” Why the fuck do you want to become just another boring-ass site like that?

This one is right in my wheelhouse!
