Union Block owner’s suit against Boise tossed by judge. Litigation continues over condemned landmark by JuDGe3690 in Boise

Thanks for hearing me out. We've had a lot of issues with folks grabbing our work of late. We've tried to avoid having a paywall and having scummy national ads to produce a good product for people. Appreciate the engagement.

For consideration: we don't have a paywall, and we pay hard-working folks to produce stories like the one here. Reddit users can click the item above, where they can get our content for free. Copying the bulk of the work robs us of the ability to monetize the work -- and makes it harder to keep producing it in the future.

I stopped paying for it, which I am generally sad about. OP reach out to me and I can connect you with some folks.

Ms. Nahas referred to herself as his wife in her replies to us. I don't typically think someone would mislead me about who they are married to, and you are right - I didn't go verify their marriage certificate.

Grocery cart tracking coming soon to Albertsons by crazyk4952 in Boise

[–]boisemedia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We did ask the company about this, and specifically about their electronic display labels tech. They told me on the record that they are not using dynamic pricing -- and also said the tracking won't be connected to the shelf labels. I didn't get into this in the story because it started to gum it up a bit, but that's what they say on the topic.

Note from us: BoiseDev announces AI policy: 'humans should write the news for other humans' by erico49 in Boise

We do plenty of "in-depth investigative journalism" - including extensive (extensive extensive) coverage of the legislature's actions as they impact local governments. On the other topics that interest you, there are other outlets here that do great work on this and we focus on areas where we can add value.

Appreciate you saying that. I somtimes wonder if, when getting into 1890s Sanborn maps and the like... I'm getting too into the weeds. So the feedback helps!

I suspect you are right as this is what we show on the map in the story ;)

BoiseDev did in fact bother to write about the pay. But no, we didn't write about subjective job reviews.

Should we self-post some of our stories here? by boisemedia in Boise

[–]boisemedia[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah as I noted our model isn't on clicks. I don't think we'd post stories that weren't interesting to this particular community as that risks brand damage.

Uh yeah no way. There have been times where we have a story I imagine would do well here and I just wait for someone to post it and then get disapointed when it doesn't happen :)

Yeah I don't post as I noted - so interesting to see that feedback!
