Well, a bunch more talent just hit the job market with The Escapist melting down, too.
I encourage anyone that hasn't yet to try any subscription-based journalism for a month just to see how different the writing is when it's not beholden to advertising and SEO.
What's happening with The Escapist? I thought things had been going better over there recently
Their parent company fired some people, including the editor-in-chief, and he was so well liked the entire video team resigned and went with him. They're now Second Wind. https://youtube.com/@SecondWindGroup?si=AgYWGLqEK6GKwtGo

Well that post didn't age well lol. Poor Nick.
They aren't in the job market, the EIC formed a new company with the staff that quit.
