The Athletic: Sports News

Lost some great writers, might not renew

The Athletic quality has really deteriorated. The Atlanta coverage is poor. No one has replaced their best Atlanta writer, Jeff Schultz, since his retirement. They have no Georgia Tech beat writer. The Falcons coverage is lacking. I don’t plan to renew.

I enjoy The Athletic, but sometime in the past month, they changed something in their algorithm that has made it harder to find recently written articles on their "Home" portion of the app. It used to show new articles that match my interests. But now, it shows articles from days ago that I've already read. If a new article comes out on a team I follow, it seems to take several days for it to show up where I see it without seeking it out, if it ever shows up at all. And they seem to be fewer art

Always great in depth articles. Breaking stories. And Tony Jones is excellent

Articles are good but you keep asking for feedback. Quit annoying people with feedback requests. It’s like a five year old asking his teacher if he did good enough every day
