Serious question? What kind of rose is he selling? Because se this tells me nothing. If it’s wine? I’m sure he is doing really well.
Toss up With a wine, it’s an established company trying to profit on the industry at this time. With a cider, which is an exploding industry that’s doing insanely good, but will hit a ceiling, it depends. If the company went in on a rose cider they *could* make a huge profit to start because that hits 2 categories that are doing as well as anything in this country alcohol wise (for break in, if you are doing whiskey :D ) If that’s the entire premise of the company (I doubt it, my guess he jumped in on something established, otherwise he is selling/pushing a singular feature for a company that has a much larger overhead) it won’t work unless they branch out. As far as his pay (again, I don’t know anything about this guy) he likely is making more money. He isn’t as ‘well known’ but to think he isn’t making more money is simply not true. *my sources* What I went into after being in media and fair-use? I work in the industry he is in right now. People spend a couple bucks a month on media if they love it. I’ll let you do the math on how much booze (yes, I get all the a,b,c shit to market) that takes.
Them trying to turn every other thing into week long content is going to turn people off if not already doing so.
Consider me baffled that a person can file a complaint that has material implications, the defendant tries amicably to resolve the situation, the plaintiff never responds to the proposal leaving the defendant in no mans land, again with material implications to their business, the defendant tries multiple channels to get a response, never gets a response, and now we’re at harassment. Has nobody here ever sent emails to somebody key to a process who is not responsive over a period of days, left a voicemail, and tried that persons office assistant to see when they can be reached over a time sensitive or pressing matter? Am I crazy for seeing the parallel and thinking that’s how business in a connected world happens? Yea it’s annoying to be on the receiving end of that if you are on vacation, but to not respond over a period of months and then act aggrieved when your profession involves managing your online brand and content just doesn’t ring true to me. Am I way off base to think that one simple “no thanks, please just take it down” is not only not that much to ask, but her or managements responsibility as owner of her content if what she really wanted was for them to take it down?
You're ignoring that she engaged them first and was ignored, because they didn't give a shit enough to respond. So she moved on and filed a complaint elsewhere. Now you're saying she owes them a response because it suddenly became in their best interest to engage with her?
I don't get shaming barstool for not crediting people and then shaming them for trying to change their habits. People at deadspin seem fucking miserable
Dave is just a performance artist. The crazy train is what makes the money. Throwing up the middle finger even when you fuck up is his brand.
