Yup, agree. Read & leave is a fitting description of what probabaly most users do there.
And that's what makes it even harder to understand: shouldn't any website want their users to stay as long as possible?
With their set up, they will never get there imo. They cannot compete with Twitter as far as being a place for short conversations. They're obviously not interested in long conversations like on this message board either.
So their niche is restricted to being a place for sport specific articles. That's nothing new and this market is pretty tough already. And as we all experience, other than reading these texts, there is no real further interaction there. So they completely depend on frequent and high volume output of their writers. They give away the opportunity to offer a place to discuss topics that go beyond the articles. KYK gone wrong...
Super hard to monetize anything online. Pretty much the only places that make money are the ones who have traffic high enough for them to spy on visitors and sell that information to advertisers.
But it doesn't even seem like the Maven people are trying. They are going to flame out super quick without some major platform changes.
