I saw this on a quote tweet from someone pointing out that in the early 2000s Whitlock had an article that said Serena Williams needed to lose 15-30 lbs, she was too fat to win a grand slam event. She had already won her first US Open at that point, and was about to win 3 of 4 (the one miss was Australia where she was out with injury) right after the article was published.

The thing about Whitlock is that he HATES women. Like really hates them.

Sports Illustrated is like Cinemax, in that nobody wants to see it go even though it's redundant in the internet age.

CharlestheHammer posted:I would like to know more about how sexual liberation is just mind control by another name I looked up the work of this guy so no one else has to: quote:Those who wished to liberate man from the moral order needed to impose social controls as soon as they succeeded because liberated libido led inevitably to anarchy. Over the course of two hundred years, those techniques became more and more refined, eventuating in a world where people were controlled, not by military force, but by the skillful management of their passions. I think there are actually some interesting kernels in there that I'd like to see analyzed by people who aren't religious zealots or incels. As it stands in this context, it's intellectually dishonest pseudo-philosophy being used to justify Whitlock's belief that only a thoroughly corrupt, unfair society could keep a superior man like him from getting laid.

Good post-mortem here: https://defector.com/the-messenger-was-built-to-fail-and-did Some highlights: quote:It's hard to escape the conclusion that The Messenger was engineered for failure. In its first months of operation—a period in which Finkelstein cannot reasonably have expected The Messenger to generate enough in advertising revenue to pay for anything approaching, let alone beyond, the normal operation of a very large digital newsroom—the company reportedly dumped something approaching a quarter of its startup capital on luxuries and frivolities. The Messenger seemed to have no sense of itself as a startup: At launch it had already opened offices in New York City, Washington D.C., and West Palm Beach, Florida. For its New York headquarters, the company leased 42,000 square feet of the 25th floor of a corner building in Manhattan's Financial District, home of some of the most expensive commercial real estate on the planet. Jordan Hoffman, who until The Messenger's shuttering worked as one of the site's senior entertainment writers, wrote for New York magazine Thursday that this glamorous skyscraper headquarters was usually "nine-tenths empty," featuring "rows and rows of spotless, expensive-looking desks" that sat mostly unoccupied. The New York Times reports that the company's three offices cost The Messenger more than $8 million in rent; Semafor reported that a leaked company balance sheet showed millions more in travel and entertainment expenses. quote:The site's writers were forced to churn out empty-calorie slop in a desperate game of SEO whack-a-mole because of Finkelstein's breathtakingly wrongheaded business model, which sought to generate $100 million in annual revenue from programmatic advertising. But programmatic advertising is no longer calibrated for human work or human traffic or primary income. It is now tuned to fire pennies at bot-run content filters for engaging in digital high-fives with search algorithms. A chumbox ad gaining an honest click from a reader of sound mind and body is roughly equivalent as an outcome to me sticking my tongue out in a snowstorm and having a fresh and whole pastrami on rye land inside my mouth: The ad is not there for humans any more than I am there for a well-made sandwich, but sometimes randomness delivers a happy outcome. The volume of traffic needed to deliver $100 million in programmatic ad income would be astronomical; it should surprise no one to learn that this model delivered to The Messenger an unambiguously non-whopping $3.8 million in revenue by the end of 2023, or less than half of what the company spent just on offices.
