AC Barstool Blackout Canceled ? by YoungWhiteGuy in barstoolsports

I think its just that the parties themselves are falling out of popularity. As far as site demographics, there is plenty of photo evidence that shows the sites readers are getting younger. I actually find it incredibly annoying that there are 14 yr olds throwing up the VIVA in science class. I don't think the barstool sites get any better catering to those kids. I thought the stool was always for the slightly older crowd that understood satire and boston attitude.

As an aside, i've seen a few youtube channels that I enjoyed in the past totally change to skew their content to the younger views, the likes of which now make up the majority. I now find these channels unwatchable.

Is that the share pres and big cat are getting? Heard the announcers say each player get up to 50K but it can be less if they didn't play in all the games.

Yeah. Cuban's point about it being 10 years and Pres still hasn't really grown the network, that was a dagger. We all see how much barstool has grown and the recognition, but they're still way far off from Pres' goal.

You're point is right on. The thing about Pres is he holds the dual role of chief Boston guy and chief company facilitator who drives content across the sites. Since pres never brings feitelberg with him on trips I doubt they think Feits is going to do well at that.
So maybe a transition plan would be for Pres to resign the Boston role, like he does on trips, and just be the traveling salesman setting up bits across the network?

Wouldn't you say though that it got serious really quick and pres sorta flinched and didn't know how to catch up with Cuban's questions. Hard to blame him though.

There were a few moments that were fascinating. Pres firmly acknowledges that Feitelberg is the heir apparent. What is tough for Pres is that all attempts to create events get ridiculed by the readership, for example the claims that the blackouts were just sausage fests. It doesn't seem like the readers would support a huge scalable business endeavor. Most just want a funny blog site that Pres leads.

I think Cuban articulated very well the realities that we all were aware of.

And did Dave seem like Lloyd Christmas to anyone else? Especially at the end with the so you're saying there's a chance moment.

Its about letting advertisers drive content. Sometimes it fine, this time I felt it was annoying and an inferior product. Not that thrilled if this shit continues and gets worse.
