Maybe we will have to see, like I said I don’t know shit. Their has to be a way to maintain quality among freelance people. Now that the computer is officially going that way, I would bet the guys will experiment with some ideas to do that. Also the fired guys Twitter’s today are just sad, I want to buy them all a beer.
You’re right I don’t think the media side is going anywhere, it’s too good of a marketing platform to throw away. What I think they are doing is setting everything up for maintenance mode. They will hold a few writers on staff but then just expand their freelance staff which is easy and cheap. I just think their plan will be to maintain the sites to hold on to the audience but not do much else to expand the brands.
My thoughts, which is worthless, is that the retail side of the business is starting to outshine the media side. My bet is that they are cutting down on the media to amp up the retail. Really the media dollars have probably plateaued a while ago, you can only make so much online from ads without expanding into other avenues; like movies and TV. Both of which are extremely difficult industries to work in. I just am assuming the company decided to focus where the money is and that is on the store.

A black eye at work is how Chuck Palahniuk got the idea for fight club. I know none of yeah care, but I feel likes it’s a fun fact.
That was my comment, I always knew I was genius.
