Are they like the TMZ of the sports world in the way they all just hang out in one big room blogging and cutting up all day?

How do all those little millennials get paid?

If you’ve seen their Instagram stories I suggest you do.

There’s the one head dude. They call him El Presidente.

Looks like they have a lot of fun doing absolutely nothing.

But how do they get paid?

Ah. So it’s all about the podcast? Makes sense. I don’t listen to the podcast but I check out their Instagram stories and post, as well as the website.

How does any site get paid? Barstoolsports.com is like any other site. They make money through advertisements, they sell shite on their site. They have a lot of followers on Instagram.

They provide content that drives traffic.

It’s all about traffic.


I do enjoy watching them cut up on their Instagram.

Seems like a pretty cool job for a millennial that’s into sports

Do you know where they are headquartered?

I was big into in college 2010-13, but once deflategate hit I lost all interest. The staff was much smaller then and most of their content was Boston shite. They were unbearable and it drove me off.

I really like PMT though.

I don't remember the last time I visited the site, but they are fighting the good fight against SJWs. They constantly get into beefs with Deadspin and their cucked up staff. It's pretty funny, at least on Twitter.

Their Instagram is also a must follow.

But they have soooo many people. Are they all on salary or their just given the tools to make their own money.

How do all those kids get paid?

I’m not talking about El Presidente and his staff of talking heads. But what about all those other slapstick’s and the Chicks in the office?

Goddamnit, TB08. You asked a question with an answer so obvious that even Oweo was able to craft an intelligent answer.

Well actually my question went over his head.

I was more asking how ALL the slap dicks inside the office surfing the internet’s all day get paid. Are they all just looking for a scoop or they they all have a purpose and a salary?

And they have a deal with Sirius now. Also the Chernin group bought them a while back. If you listen to the podcasts they, like most podcasts, have ad reads sprinkled in. When you have millions listening each week with numbers to back it up you can get paid.
