I hate this reality and would like to trade with one of my other selves somewhere further down the multiverse. e: As noted recently, Deadspin actually had perhaps the most insightful take on what Gamergate meant for our poor, benighted world back in 2014.

They are gonna staff the site with people who are desperate, too inexperienced to realize that this job will essentially brand them as a scab, or who just don't give a gently caress. I'm sure some D-list commenter/blogger at Barstool would jump at the opportunity to claim a spot on the masthead for the glory of those shitheads.

We should all submit emails to G/O about how we’d love to write for deadspin for pennies and if they hire us to freelance, we just spam posts about how G/O sucks.

Sad to see Deadspin go. I must have visited the site 20 times a day for the past decade. It’s going to be weird removing the bookmark. Like others, I guess I’ll actually have to read The Ringer now. I hope everyone lands on their feet, and I really hope a few get together to start New Deadspin.

if I remember correctly Frazier and Chau came in as interns or in a very junior position so maybe their first real contracts all expired around the same time and they just agreed to not keep them on? I know all the money there comes from podcasting and I'm not sure how active 3/4 were on that side. I know Titus did that college basketball one but maybe that could be something else? Anyway, to put my conspiracy Bill hat on, like the Jeffery Epstein situation it's obvious Something Is Up.

Anyway, to put my conspiracy Bill hat on, like the Jeffery Epstein situation it's obvious Something Is Up. Chau was a Grantland intern turned full timer who has been with The Ringer since it launched, and I think Tate was like literally their first non-grantland hire as a podcast producer so yeah it could be something like that. Chau and Zoldaz were both involved with the union but I don't think Titus and Tate ever mentioned it and Titus in particular does not strike me a big union guy.

AndrewP posted:ah hell, the Deadcast. surely Drew and Dave can start up a new podcast and make a few bucks on the ads? Marchman was utterly insufferable (what kind of monster thinks air conditioning was one of the worst inventions ever) and I'll never understand why Magary loved him, especially since Marchman was also a particularly awful writer--though there is something funny about Petchesky getting sacked being the catalyst for the staff walkout, because the only worse writer on-staff was Haisley--but, yeah, Magary and Roth were a hell of a pair. Here's hoping they reunite. They might have a hard time getting ad buys without the Gawker / GMG / G/O / Deadspin branding, though. Media buyers tend to be fairly narrow-sighted.

If Cum Town can sell advertising, it seems like Magary and Roth can.

Hell, they don’t need advertising. Podcasts easily can survive on patreon alone. Especially people with an established audience.

I like Marchmann. He is an absurd human but in a funny way and he played off Magary well. It was better with Roth though, yeah. Those two had great chemistry. I think Petchesky was fine, but he also was a workhorse for them who was pumping out tons of shorter blogs every day. I don't think he was really aiming for something especially profound most of the time
