I wonder if there's any correlation between the tech saviness of their reader base and use of Adblock?

- sharkweek 11y ago>The site receives 1.5 million regular monthly visitors I have a friend who runs his own blog about movies, pulls about 1.5-1.7M monthly uniques. He has two writers and himself cranking on this thing. For comparison Recode apparently has 44 employees, that's REALLY expensive. I understand they have events and likely a higher opportunity for monetization with their credibility but the math simply doesn't add up no matter how you slice it on that one.
- xux 11y agoJust curious, how do they distribute their content so widely with just three people?
- caseyf7 11y agoI doubt it would've mattered. The quality of the ads on Re/Code was very low. It didn't even look like they were selling their own ads - mostly remnants and retargeting. They reportedly made most of their money from events.
