Can someone explain to me how Jomboy Media makes money? They do a ton of youtube videos that get like 1k likes, to extrapolate out to views (cause youtube doesn't pay for likes) that's barely any money. I know they primarily do podcasts but they put so much time and effort into projects that don't seem like money-makers. They bought the rights to a dating show and those videos did basically peanuts based on youtube's monetization payouts.

They made most of their money through VC investment. They've already had to do layoffs, but I think Talkin Baseball and Talkin Yanks are both really popular in that sphere and they obviously have a lot of player support which I'm sure makes it easier to convince investors.

They bought the rights to a dating show and those videos did basically peanuts based on youtube's monetization payouts. I can't speak directly to all their business stuff but I looked at their youtube channel and recently lots of his videos are getting direct sponsorship from Draft Kings so that is a direct ad buy placement inside the video and it has a promo code too so they're getting a tiny kickback too if someone uses the promo code. On top of that he has a whole host of video networks and although not exactly the percentage breakdown if you get 1 million views on a video you get about 1000 dollars from the ad revenue. So he's taking in a passive amount of money every month as some of the videos he's uploaded are obviously very much about what just happened but others are sort of evergreen and I'm sure every few months a random video pops for no apparent reason other than the algorithm decided to like it. Secondly as others said he has podcasts and some of the podcast ad buys can actually be shockingly lucrative. But also noted was they did overexpand and had to do some layoffs recently. He's definitely become part of the greater sports ecosystem too so I'm sure there are a lot of partner deals or whatever.

Startup news site The Messenger seems to be quickly going under. Not sure how large their sports operation was but they definitely had one, Ryan Nanni was doing stuff there.

They had a lot of good sports writers from what I could tell. And then I made the mistake of looking at the front page and deciding to never go to the website for any reason.

I feel like I'm pretty plugged into the news/pop culture landscape seeing as it is a large element of both of the jobs I do right now. I have not even heard of the messenger? Maybe I'm bad at my job? But yeah, I've never once even seen a story linked to that site and I spend like 12 hours a day on twitter.

Welcome to the future https://futurism.com/sports-illustrated-ai-generated-writers quote:There was nothing in Drew Ortiz's author biography at Sports Illustrated to suggest that he was anything other than human. They caught Sports Illustrated publishing ChatGPT nonsense under bylines with deepfake headshots and when called on it denied everything and deleted it en masse.

That's pretty depressing. I'd expect it out of some of the new online media like whatever Deadspin is these days. But to destroy Sports Illustraded's legacy like that is sad. They used to have really good journalism.

The PE firm that bought them and really set about the destruction is called "Authentic Brands Group" which is just... beyond parody.

I think they just pay freelancers now. They probably had no idea this was AI, it just ticked the right boxes and worked cheap.

There are respectable human journalists still on staff there -- Emma Baccalieri, Richard Johnson off the top of my head from the sports I follow -- but yeah the enterprise as a whole has been like this for a while now. They do have a union which has already issued a statement, so that's good.
