Mike Fisher and Maven/SI

[j0Shi]

I don't mind paying for journalism. The issue I always had with Fish is that he was basically just a glorified blogger that rarely put out original or investigative stories. Most of the stuff you could get elsewhere for free. I like paying for TheAtheltic because they bring pieces that you can't find anywhere else. Sure the cap things by DLord were amazing, but not worth a sub. And I guess Fish knew, because he was master at throwing stuff against the wall and yelling "WE HAD THAT FIRST ON DB.COM" in case anything stuck. That's just seeking for attention (and subs). Let the writing stand for itself.

That said, I also don't blame him for transitioning over to SI. He fits what they're trying to do quite nicely. So he'll thrive and that's fine, I wish him all the best. It's just not something I'm going to read regularly.
