Thread: The Athletic - how long do we give it?

    The Athletic - how long do we give it?

    Nabbing all these top journalists, who must be being paid a fortune. I just won't pay for content and they'll all be replaced by hungry, young journos who might have something new and interesting to say

    Pity the Orn has gone there, though

    It must, one imagines, have some powerful backing to be able to attract the big names.

    I give it a year.

    Paying for content - I think it is a mindset that the younger types will get before the likes of you and I, p.

    I ain't paying either. Whatever they write will be in the free / public domain before long anyway.

    I'm assuming all the journos are freelance rather than employees and they'll probably be contractually restricted in where their scribblings can be published.

    I'll give it 18 months...

    Do you pay for podcasts you listen to?

    In fairness, I don't pay for content as I get it all free due to the job. The more pertinent point is that there is enough "free" content out there that there is no need to pay for a service such as The Athletic

    Depends on how one finds the quality of the writing, and the intrusiveness of the ads. I intend to give the Athletic a go via the Arsenal Vision link. £2.50 a month is a modest fee if value is found imo.

    It is. in isolation.

    How many "less than the price of a pint" fees could you end up paying?
