@jonseff I’m trying to remind those who say, “I never read the print so I don’t care” of exactly how much online stuff you/those people did.
To those saying Macworld layoffs related to print were inevitable, understand that the bulk of our/their jobs was daily online work.

@ShawnKing Yeah, the print mag was a digest of the best/longest lasting content + features. For most editors, a small % of our work.

@jonseff I’d have loved to be a fly on their wall looking at their numbers -
@jonseff publishers are doing this and paying authors a fraction of what you were making before being Laid off. -
@jonseff it was competing with many perhaps more popular similar sites employing 1-very few people?was downsizing an option?(tough market) -
@jonseff@marcoarment yeah,but they worked for a company whose genesis is in print.Maybe the bosses just didn’t get how to make online work? -
-
@jonseff there seems to be a lot of that. -
@jonseff@marcoarment I never even knew they wrote for the print version. Only online work. Nothing inevitable had to happen.Sad news though -
@jonseff@marcoarment Confluence of Killing Print Mag ("Inevitable!") and huge layoffs of mainly-online workforce ("Unfortunate.") = good PR -

@jonseff Ugh. Someone needs to figure this business out.
