Overpay.

Maybe they will get some better writers then. Seems like quite a bit of money for a monetized model that is struggling in the marketplace due to so any options from print to video choices.

Their writers are really good today (at least in the areas that I follow).

Agree. The Athletic and BWI are the only sites that I pay for to get content.

That site is doing terrible. Dejan cut the money so badly that his employees are working two jobs. One guy is driving for Amazon and another one is working a cigar shop. The guys he has doing these podcasts are terrible.
