Honestly is Nate even wrong here?
IIRC, he got to keep all of the models and etc from 538 which is kinda all that mattered about it. Like anybody is really going to lookup the 2016 election in 2030 but they're definitely want the model's output in 2030 for 2030.
Management seems to be clearly inept and if somebody wants to give you a wheelbarrow of cash for something worthless you're generally foolish to not accept.
- afavour 5mo agoI don’t think that’s all that mattered. FiveThirtyEight was a strong brand, it was definitely worth something.

- Hamuko 5mo agoHe never sold the prediction models, and only leased them to ABC/538, so they left with him as he left the company.
