I always like making an AE on reddit, strolling into a heavy democratic sub and posting about how great Trump is doing.

What does that have to do with this situation?

You would have never survived Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Andrew Dice Clay from the 80s and 90s.

Perhaps. It would be more appropriate if he had asked them to pay in advance.

Yep, but as soon as they find out no other tables were asked to do so it would have turned into a circus up in there.

The redirects, the ads, the page load speeds, the layout from 2002

As someone who’s been around since the early dot-com days, it’s wild to see The Advocate still leaning on the worst tactics from 2000. You can’t run a subscription wall and carpet-bomb readers with pop-ups, auto-play ads, and bait clicks at the same time. That model was annoying 25 years ago. It’s worse now.

They have the reporting resources to draw readers across the South on content alone. That should be enough to build loyalty and repeat traffic. Instead, you get blasted with ads, nudged to subscribe every few seconds, and sometimes blocked from reading the very article they invited you to click.

Pick a lane. Offer subscriptions with a clean, ad-free experience, or give the content away and monetize with straightforward, non-intrusive ads. That model alone would increase their web traffic 3 fold, making it more valuable to advertisers.

Amazing how you idiots have had 13 entire years and still can't figure out how that makes no sense.

I gotta say it was nice to see the Exxon owner pony up, buy the Chuck E Cheese, demo it and build that beautiful gas station right there. But yeah, everything else west of it needs to go.
