As the title says, just curious if anyone knows why 538 appears to not exist anymore? It looks like they stopped updating their website completely in June.
They kept predicting Celtics to win after the finals were over
Disney happened. Nate Silver left and started his own substack. He has NBA previews on there
Awesome, Disney really tends to ruin everything 😑
The site wasn’t making any money and it never has. They used to accept things as a loss leader for cable TV but that is dying as well.
Ahhhhh, gross. More political coverage, exactly what America needs. Sucks, 538 was a pretty good source. Hoping someone else picks it up. Thanks for the quick answer!
538 was founded as a political website. The name itself is a political reference lmao.
It’s literally a political website used to project elections, they just started using thier predictive models for other things like sports
What will we do without RAPTOR???
Thank you to those who provided me with a constructive answer to my fairly straightforward question, much appreciated!
And to the rest, I’m sorry that my ignorance about the top level 538 website was a trigger.
There’s a post from yesterday on their site. They just don’t do sports anymore.
nate bronze got exposed and ran from the grind
They cut all sports content I believe. Will just be doing election stuff
They gold sold to ABC, but didn’t realize that Nate Silver owned lots of the automatically updating probabilities. So all that went with him and they stopped updating.
Smart of Nate to negotiate ownership of his intellectual property.
It still works for politics I believe
I assume the anti-Jokic coalition lobbied for it to be taken down before he manages to make it all the way to the Top Right and beyond.
