Cory Booker / @corybooker: Proud of @gmgunion for defending independent journalism. Outlets like Deadspin, Jezebel and The Root provide a perspective that is too often missing from mainstream outlets. We can't afford to lose that perspective. https://twitter.com/...
Alan Goldsher / @alangoldsher: Side note: Sorry to come off as a wuss, but all of these mean tweets made me super-sad. The second result of today is that I'm not going to mean-tweet anymore. 🙁
Katie Robertson / New York Times: Deadspin's Last Staff Member Quits. But Deadspin Is Not Dead, the Boss Says.
Diana Moskovitz / Deadspin: Thank You — I had a master plan for today, but it did not go quite as planned.
Alan Goldsher / @alangoldsher: Color me naive, but I had no idea this would move so many people, that you were all this passionate. Not to be all woe-is-me, but in my 20-plus years as a freelancer, I never had ANY significant support from colleagues.
Alan Goldsher / @alangoldsher: That's my personal experience. That's my reality. Former Deadspin writers should be thrilled that their community has their back. If I'd ever had that kind of support, I probably would've looked at the opportunity much differently.
Kate Conger / @kateconger: really did not think that the death of independent media would become a 2020 campaign issue https://twitter.com/...
David Gardner / @bydavidgardner: Man makes mistake. Man apologizes for mistake. Man is forgiven for mistake. Am I on Bizarro Twitter today? Can I stay here? https://twitter.com/...
@erinscafe: “We've got quite a number of recruiters out there pounding the pavement, trying to find great people,” Mr. Spanfeller said in an interview Friday. “We don't just want to get any old person — we want to get good people.” lol ok but do good people want you https://www.nytimes.com/...
Laura Wagner / @laurawags: Paul Maidment is now unpublishing old Deadspin blogs and republishing them with no editor's note. @BillBradley3 is a wonderful writer and he is not a scab.
Ashley Reese / @offbeatorbit: Made a statement before Elizabeth Warren........ https://twitter.com/...
Noelle Mateer / @n_mateer: This website let me write 4,000 freaking words on *competitive oyster shuckers* with a mix of both goofy scenes and serious asides into Chinese consumer culture/social inequality.

Owen Thomas / @owenthomas: Is this really @nytimes house style? “Ms. Greenwell, who recently worked as an advice columnist for The New York Times, posted a blog in August” https://www.nytimes.com/... (A blog is an entire website. A blog post is a post on a blog. One publishes a post.) cc @anildash

KFC / @kfcbarstool: This is so so sad. This dude was bullied into giving up his paycheck. By a bunch of fans and ex employees who are throwing a tantrum. But Barstool readers are the fans who harass people, right? 🙄🙄 https://twitter.com/...
Ben Walsh / @bendwalsh: despite what you've heard from leading columnists, a sincere, thoughtful, mature reaction to public criticism is totally possible. this is great! https://twitter.com/...
Emma Roller / @emmaroller: this takes maturity! let's remember who the real enemies are in all this 🙂 https://twitter.com/...
Luis Paez-Pumar / @lppny: And so, our watch has ended. Deadspin was a good website. Deadspin Forever. https://deadspin.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Benjamin Hoffman / @benhoffmannyt: A good blog, last officially helmed by Dave McKenna, steered into the storm by a brave Diana Moskovitz whose colleagues had escaped on life boats. RIP, Deadspin. https://twitter.com/...
@brittanyadesso: My mind is blown by both the courage of the deadspin staff and the fact that the owners fucked up so badly that the entire staff told them to go to hell https://twitter.com/...
Dave Smith / @redletterdave: Reminder to NOT join Deadspin unless you want to experience what @AlanGoldsher felt today (He did the right thing in the end and I'm happy with his response) https://twitter.com/...
Michael Socolow / @michaelsocolow: I find it incredible [which just shows how old I am] that Mad magazine, Sports Illustrated, and Deadspin all basically ended in 2019.

Lindsey Ellefson / The Wrap:
Deadspin got a new freelance contributor, Alan Goldsher, on Friday, but then he quickly quit too following backlash to his tweet announcing his new gig — By Friday, every editor and writer was gone from Deadspin, but the sports-culture site chugged along, sort of, by posting previously-submitted contributor content.

Alan Goldsher / @alangoldsher: I've listened to the room, and I'm out of Deadspin. I hear what you guys are saying, and I respect it. This clearly wasn't a good idea, and I appreciate that I was pointed in the right direction.
Robert Silverman / The Daily Beast: Deadspin ‘Scab’ Alan Goldsher Tells All
Robert Silverman / @bobsaietta: So you know that the blog post that went up today after @deadspin's entire staff quit? It was not assigned by G/O, did not undergo an editorial process with the freelance writer & went online largely untouched from the draft that was filed early Friday. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Vincent Bevins / @vinncent: “Yes, more people have now publicly ditched Deadspin than were even on its staff when the week began.” https://www.thewrap.com/...
Robert Silverman / @bobsaietta: Honestly, the most surprising part was that after getting dogpiled people on this website were genuinely kind to Alan Goldsher. (The least surprising part was that driving away an incredibly talented staff for no reason at all would have adverse effects.) https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Alan Goldsher / @alangoldsher: The shit keeps coming, but now, there's WAY more positivity, which is awesome. Thanks!
Craig Goldstein / @cdgoldstein: genuinely thank you for this decision
Robert Silverman / @bobsaietta: but if you're using this as an excuse to a) dance on the grave of the old staff or b) encourage craven bootlicking, here's who your're siding with: the sexual harassment blog and a plagiarist who runs a white nationalist blog https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Alan Goldsher / @alangoldsher: And thanks to you and the (heretofore unknown to me) writing community for schooling me.
Dave Hogg / @stareagle: It is brutal in the freelance world. I'm out there too. But you're making the right call. Respect.
Adam Weinstein / @adamweinstein: I used to beat myself up over my shortcomings as a worker, publishing professional and manager of people. But then I read this https://twitter.com/...
Brian Merchant / @bcmerchant: Owning, and how you react to, the error in judgment here is the bigger sign of character than the misstep made in the first place. I think this is really big, and really genuine, cheers man
Jonathan Jones / @jjones9: initial move was very bad. this move is very good. hope people won't be shitty to you now and into the future for an error you eventually realized and tried to correct
Karl Bode / @karlbode: it's the right call and kudos for listening

Discussion:
Barry Petchesky / @barry: @maxwelltani FYI this is demonstrably false. According to our analytics department, since the start of the year, non-sports posts have on average double the traffic of sports posts.
Jill Schulz / @jillian_schulz: aside from giz, deadspin was always one of the easiest sites to pitch and sell. we rarely sold campaigns because the advertiser wanted to align with “sports”. they wanted the audience and the lifestyle sections (foodspin, adequate man, the concourse)
Diana Moskovitz / Deadspin: Transactions, Nov. 1 — This the final Deadspin transaction before relegation.
Kelsey Mckinney / @mckinneykelsey: Just now I resigned my position at Deadspin today along with many of my colleagues. I have been here only five months but they have been some of the best of my career and I will miss it deeply.
Kim Janssen / Los Angeles Times: News Analysis: I checked the math of the media bosses who told Deadspin to ‘stick to sports.’ It doesn't add up
David Roth / @david_j_roth: I'm putting up some last stories that I edited at Deadspin, all submitted and edited before today. I want to get these writers paid and read. All these stories are good and I feel lucky to have worked on them. Here is one, by @OAlmasri: https://deadspin.com/...
Brakkton Booker / NPR: After Days Of Resignations, The Last Of The Deadspin Staff Has Quit
Tim Marchman / @timmarchman: This is completely untrue. Honestly, if the editors went just by the data, Deadspin would have been a lifestyle and politics site with a sports subsite mostly dedicated to football. https://twitter.com/...
Laura Hazard Owen / Nieman Lab: A sad reading list about the end of Deadspin
Kim Janssen / @kimjnews: I was skeptical of the September audience data that G/O Media cited in telling @deadspin's staff to “stick to sports”, so @palewire scraped all the audience data from Deadspin's September posts, and I analyzed it. THREAD https://www.latimes.com/...
Alexia Fernández Campbell / Vox: What the mass resignations at Deadspin tell us about work in America
Diana Moskovitz / @dianamoskovitz: I wrote a very sappy goodbye post. In some ways, it feel like the least-Deadspinny thing I could do. But it felt right. https://deadspin.com/...
Brian Janosch / @bjanosch: This story is incredible, and more people should be paying attention. The early promise of the internet is being destroyed every day. There is no longer room for outlets of collective expression. You're an influencer in the pocket of basically two companies, or you're nobody. https://twitter.com/...
Turkbert Cransauceko / @albertburneko: monkeying with the time stamps on blogs to A) make it look like you have fresh blogs when no self-respecting writer on earth will write for you, and B) get dunks at your expense off the front page without deleting them, is the most clownshoe-ass shit imaginable https://twitter.com/...
@thetomzone: You know, I could have sworn this blog- which is titled Transactions, Nov. 1 - wasn't posted on October 1. It must be a mistake on my part- I have a real bad memory- because I can't see any other reason its date would be adjusted, bumping it off the page. https://deadspin.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Michael Roston / @michaelroston: A lot of journalists are wary of getting too caught up in the analytics about their stories.

Timothy Burke / @bubbaprog: .@fischsticks wrote a script to do this and came up with the same results. The great thing about Kinja—and GED, the CMS that came before it—is that both pageviews and unique visitors for every post are public. Read this whole thread for more info. https://twitter.com/...

Diana Moskovitz / @dianamoskovitz: Programming note: My Kinja access has been revoked. I apologize for any and all spelling and grammar errors, as I cannot fix them. From here on out, all content published on Deadspin is not us. I hope we sent out Deadspin right. We did our best.
Ryan Cooper / @ryanlcooper: baffling that there are so many eager little toadies and lickspittles out there, but that's the world we live in it seems
Hope He Sees This / @lukeoneil47: The schadenfreude the other sports blog is showcasing over all this could not be more illustrative of why Deadspin was appealing to people like me in the first place. Those guys dream about being the boss while Deadspin's general ethos was fuck the bosses.
Hope He Sees This / @lukeoneil47: And the reason you're seeing so many people talk about finding friends and a community through it is that that sort of thinking was a revelation not very long ago. Wait, I can like sports and not love to kiss cops and respect my boss?
Hope He Sees This / @lukeoneil47: My last Deadspin thought is it was one of the only places to recognize that sports are so good but everything about them — the cursed jingoism, red-assed coaches who think they're troops, corruption, fealty to authority, capitalism excesses, etc — were shit.

I will miss all these nuts and their joyful, vibrant, weird adventures. On to the next. May they all find places to write that like good writing. https://twitter.com/...
Dr. Steven W. Thrasher / @thrasherxy: The agony and pride and pain and wonder of solidarity is a thing to behold. Thank you, Deadspin (which is a collection of writers and editors, not an owned brand) for teaching us to the very end, and thank for your service. Godspeed. https://twitter.com/...
Nick Casserole / @nick422: I keep going back to what @wyshynski said (paraphrasing), “Buying Deadspin and telling it to stick to sports is like buying Cheesecake Factory and getting rid of everything but cheesecake.” Long live Deadspin. https://twitter.com/...

Lando Callipygian / @geedee215: Deadspin was a profitable, very influential site doing the thing it was already doing. these dudes came in and thought they knew better, and picked a bunch of dumb, unnecessary fights with the workers who made it work and knew why it worked. Now it's gone. https://twitter.com/...
Ryan Cooper / @ryanlcooper: what an incredible waste. private equity goons are the most childish, thin-skinned little babies alive https://twitter.com/...
Max Tani / @maxwelltani: According to internal stats I've seen, on average, posts on The Concourse earn 108% more than Deadspin posts. As of earlier this year, the average PVs per post for The Concourse was 129k vs 62k for Deadspin's main page. https://twitter.com/...

This happens in business far more often than we admit, particularly when the owners are so rich it's all play money. https://twitter.com/...

Kendall Baker / Axios: Deadspin is dead after refusing to “stick to sports”
Bryan Curtis / The Ringer:
Deadspin is the latest site to undergo “The Mavening”, where owners hollow out trusted outlets, a trend that has been particularly deadly for sportswriting — Deadspin staffers resigned this week after a dispute with management. Like so many other publications, the future will bring an undead version of the site.
Discussion:
Caroline Moss / @carolinemoss: stories on ANY topic go viral when they are smartly written by smart people leading other people to actively seek them out to read and share, not because “baseball is sport that america likes therefore everyone in america will read the baseball story”
Frank Pasquale / @frankpasquale: The new citizen journalism: Trustworthy publications are “hollowed out and refilled with unpaid ‘community’ contributors...who [won't] challenge editorial imperatives or productivity quotas that generate useless, often-inaccurate content” https://slate.com/...

Caroline Moss / @carolinemoss: I look at all of the news about Deadpsin and remember a conversation in which an editor stood on a chair in a full newsroom and said, “the new strategy is that everything we write just has to go viral” and then stepped down from the chair and he was totally serious
Tom Gara / @tomgara: (It's easy to see the zombie phenomena in media, but it's everywhere in the economy, dying workhorses like Sears or Toys R Us getting one last spurt of cash whipped out of them while they can still stand)

Theater chain owners upset at Netflix after talks stalled over short theater run for Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, which will be weeks shorter than standard — LOS ANGELES — Netflix and the owners of the major theater chains could have made a lot of money together, if only they had seen eye to eye on the release of “The Irishman.”

Rafael Motamayor / The Playlist: Theater Chief Labels Netflix's Theatrical Run of ‘The Irishman’: “A Disgrace”
David Sims / @davidlsims: NATO is in no position to fume here. 45 days is going to be the new standard sooner or later, and if Netflix was willing to meet that, they should have taken it https://twitter.com/...

Hollywood Reporter: Netflix “Missed a Strategic Opportunity” With ‘Irishman’ Release, Theater Chief Says
E Vincentelli / @evincentelli: The man saying “it's a disgrace” represents movie theaters, largely chains. I'm curious what owners of theater-theaters think. What's in it for the Shubert Organization, which owns the Belasco? What kind of deal did they strike? https://nyti.ms/2r3tx36
@nytimes: The head of an organization of movie theater owners says it's a “disgrace” that Martin Scorcese's “The Irishman” will only have a 26-day run in a limited number of theaters before it starts streaming on Netflix. Normally, it would be 72 days. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Daniel Loría / @danyloria: According to NYT, AMC & Cineplex offered to shorten their window to 60-days, essentially cutting off an entire month from the existing window, to accomodate Netflix. The streamer, however, refused to consider anything beyond 45 days https://www.nytimes.com/...

Felix Salmon / @felixsalmon: Where's the best explanation of why theater owners would refuse to run a film with a short exclusivity window? I can see how they would make more money if the window were longer, but why refuse to show the movie at all? https://www.nytimes.com/...
Dan McDermott / @danielpmcdermot: A shame the theater owners weren't willing to enjoy a mere 45 days of jam packed profits and insisted on 60. Now they lament. https://twitter.com/...
Ted Gideonse / @gideunz: Why are we supposed to feel bad for theater owners? In LA, tickets are often $17, popcorn + a coke $15, internet ticket purchases have $2 fees. I'd rather see movies in a theater, but most are owned by vile corps that couldn't care less about “cinema.” https://nyti.ms/2r3tx36
Brooks Barnes / @brooksbarnesnyt: On the other hand, Netflix offered a 45-day window — more than before, by a lot. Nice reporting by @nicsperling https://www.nytimes.com/...
Dan Nguyen / @dancow: A short window supports Netflix's market position and strategy, which is to have people stay at home and pay for/watch Netflix instead of going out for movie tickets. A short exclusivity window means more people will wait it out to watch at home.

Modest Proposal / @modestproposal1: Giving away Peacock prob the right move. Ad buyers desperate for brand safe premium inventory. Hulu is monetizing at $10+/mo per sub. Burke thinks Peacock can do $5. As ratings continue to fall for linear and viewing goes to no ads SVOD, Peacock becomes big recipient of those $. https://twitter.com/...
