I appreciate you offering up fair counter points. I think anyone who reads this article should take a look at your response to understand what "long hours" can mean in a good way. Definitely agree there's a lot more to discus

I was talking about a bootcamp they had faith in. Investing money means they have some faith in it.

Interested to know what you think about them shutting down then. Seems like they were quite far along... Any insight on what changed their mind or what you will do differently?

All these journalists are established professionals who are hand picked and have followings in the thousands to tens of thousands.

Thanks for your thoughts. Really appreciate hearing them. For what its worth, we just launched 2 weeks ago so I would be surprised if you had heard of it. I'm well aware of the lack of mass consumer appeal right this instant, and you&#

They are heavy buyers of Facebook ads so I imagine a fair bit of traffic comes from those + the fact they have a sense for "viral" content. Although Peretti says they are profitable in his internal memo, I am quite skeptical until

I didn't mean don't pay -- I mean't don't pay as much as Google. Google internships pay more than big bank internships.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, they do try to sell sex and publish silly articles often, but I do think some of those are interesting and telling of an industry that no one else really hits on. The article about Prim for example I thin
