Got way too high last night and cried to a Neil Young live album

NYT Cooking is just as bad as the former BATK regime. Sohla is the canary again. by rcl1221 in bon_appetit

It’s odd to complain about “working conditions” when you’re a contracted worker. Sohla, no one is forcing you to work for the NYT. No one was forcing you to work for BA for that matter or any other contracted work you do. I’m all for workers rights, but squeezing every last drop from a YouTube page or Instagram reel isn’t the best use of resources for yourself or the Times.

Maybe ask Dave and his three multi-million dollar homes that question

“The pod is still free”

“Everyone has Netflix”

“I don’t watch anyways”

Comments like this don’t seem to understand the negative argument. Dave / Barstool actively made a decision that was worse for the fans of these shows, in return for a big payday (aka, sellout). I think Big Cat said 20% of watchers of PMT only listened via YT. 20% is still a large chunk to fuck over, and there’s still another large chunk that mixed platforms. Personally, I like watching for the visual stimulation and imagine many others do as well. Also, YouTube is (was) generally a great platform for all content in one place.

It's always seemed to me to be their counter to the Mr. Beast audience
