To be honest it seems like the only growing space for people to make money from online advertisements is the “endorsement” style ads you see in podcasts and from YouTube personalities, where the host talks about the product in their own voice. Dennis Perkins of The A.V Club gave the episode a C+ stating. Now for anything more than a tiny (like one person tiny) publication to stay afloat on ad revenue alone, they have to chase clicks with clickbait headlines, save costs on production by leaning on freelancers and super short, easily digestible content, and sponsored content. The twenty-eighth season of the animated television series The Simpsons began airing on. Ad revenue just can’t support a website like 2010 Cracked, for example, which had probably dozens of full time employees and produced long form articles and expensive video content. Around 2010 I followed a wide range of web publications because they all supported interesting, niche content from writers who I felt like I would come to know. We’re on the tail end of another web media bubble burst. Here’s a more detailed writeup on this very long winded acquisition. Club’s decision to drop back into regular Simpsons coverage starting with 2011's Season 23 had allowed us. Then Univision sold them all off to Great Hill Partners, who combined them to become G/O Media. And I was genuinely sad when the inevitable axe fell last year, signaling that the A.V. It was first purchased by Univision, who later consolidated its content management system into Kinja, which is what's on the Gizmodo sites (Gawker, Lifehacker, Jezebel, Deadspin and the likes). And I really miss its glory days.ĮDIT: As many have helpfully pointed out, the ownership of The Onion and The AV Club is more complicated than this. I’m still reading AVC to this day, but the site is now a hollow shell of its past. But once being merged with other Gawker outlets, the site layout became an unusable mess, and to make it worse: AVC was forced to take on Kinja, which is absolutely horrific to generate any forms of meaningful discussion. AVC’s Disqus comment system was one of the brightest points of AVC. The biggest shift happened when AVC was acquired by Gawker, and later by G/O Media, that put its operations to a halt. Thorough, in depth recaps of TV shows from a prolific cohort of writers – Emily VanDerWerff, Sonya Saraiya, Noel Murray, Donna Bowman, Sean O’Neal, Joshua Alston, so many more – with most now relegated to contributors or moved on to other publications. I started reading The AV Club in the early 2010s, which is arguably when the site was at its peak.
