    First negative - the number of Memphis State basketball articles I get pushed through the app.

    The long form about Piazza and the Italian soccer club was a good read, man he comes across as a simple guy.

    Never cared for him. That article only reinforced my beliefs.

    Strikes me as the simpleton who truly thinks he's the smartest guy in the room.

    And his wife...wow. I'll bet she wants a coat made from Dalmatian puppies

    impressive, but i still feel like they are expanding too quickly. i'd love to know how much money they are losing.

    With some of the guys that have jumped from previous gigs, I've got to think they are on stable financial footing. Have to be.

    The company expects to become profitable in 2020 and says it will soon hit a million subscribers worldwide


    Then why are they raising $51 mil? I’ve always felt they’ve been overspending and expanding way too quick. Hope it works.

    They are expanding overseas it appears.

    Thing is, they could do ads in a way that I would not care. Just don't do it like SI and others and I'd be fine with it. I don't subscribe to it because it's no ads, I subscribe because the best in the business work for them.

    They run ads on a lot of their podcasts, especially the ones they make available w/out a subscription.

    I don’t think banner ads add enough revenue to make it worthwhile
