Must be so easy being a sports journalist, just ask everyone about Messi/Ronaldo all the time, and get easy clicks.
I used to work for a sports media page and half of my job was just refreshing this subreddit to source quotes about Messi and Ronaldo to post on Twitter/Instagram. Was always the top-performing content by a mile.
100% sportsbible
They got relatively huge from reposting this subreddit
I fucking knew it
it's hardly a secret at this point with how many articles reference reddit and twitter comments
I even got £50 for a photo of mine the Daily Mail stole off Reddit
Was it paid out automatically or did you have to hound them for it?
The latter, they didn't ask me for permission, just stole it
You're internet royalty mate.
used to work for a sports newspaper and same.
Lmao, idek if youre baiting or if its actually true
Hey guys I know a lawyer let's band together to file a class action and get back our hard-earned pay!
That's also a method for getting upvotes here - find a news story where they asked some schmuck about who the GOAT is, post it here and get like 3K upvotes guaranteed.
Every nonsensical Pep quote gets like 2k upvotes. On the most recent one, nearly all the comments were "Why is this upvoted? So tired of hearing from him"
There's a load of casuals who just want to read the same crap again and again and again, they don't necessarily comment but they do upvote.
Can't wait to exchange all my upvotes for cash one day.
You missed out on the opportunity to really sell your account when they got rid of awards.
Disculpame si te rompí la cola, así es el periodismo champagne
Genuinely insane this shite is allowed on r/soccer considering what gets removed
I was just asking myself how these posts still make it to the top of this sub each time. Does anyone still find it interesting who people think is better of the two?
