I’m glad he was able to document how much he loved his family and it is just sad, he was young.

It’s not great. What I don’t understand is why not keep the full price ad free and the cut rate ad supported? My subscription was up 9/28 so I’m not burned but I would be beyond pissed if I had just started a new yearly cycle and they did this.

Oof. I did just sign up for 6 months at $1 a month again, so I guess at that price some ads aren't a big deal. The quality of the site has been really good! But no way would I pay close to full price especially with ads. In some fairness, one of the reasons I cancelled defector is it was $8 a month and they had Warby Parker ads all over the place.

It’s shocking how tasteless ads can be. That Jonathan tjarks post from the ringer is like 150 words and it’s interrupted by one ad and then there are two more betgm ads at the bottom. It’s so tacky

Ugh. Welp, there goes the last best thing about The Athletic. Hope the app stays ad-free, otherwise it just means that nice clean layout gets interrupted by blank spaces. Defector the only real ones left in the game.

Those ads helped fund the site in its early days. They published their business update yesterday. They’re fully funded through subscriptions, and have been for some time.

It's a shame because their content is good. No-ads Athletic was too good to last. A company like the NYT isn't going to pass up revenue. This reminds me of cable TV realizing that they could collect subscription fees AND show ads.

There's a new series on Defector where two writers are trying to do the technical challenges from the Great British Baking Show. https://defector.com/the-not-so-great-defector-bake-off-grapples-with-cake-week/. No spoilers, but it's wild.

Lmao get out of here with a $50 price tag. Give me an $8 figure that vaguely looks like the person if you don’t pay too much attention and two points of articulation. Bring back McFarlane sports picks while we’re at it.

Yeah, Kelsey McKinney is a madwoman in that GBBO article. Forgetting the heavy whipping cream should have been an omen to her. The end result photos are great.
