I saw this. I feel bad for all the Pitchfork staffers who were laid off, but I’ve seen this kind of thing before in my own professional life and I’ve gotta say it sounds like Pitchfork was lagging in viewers/readers, and was probably making most of its money through festivals and commissions on third-party vendor sales.
There was a time when this website was pretty formative for me (like, 2001), but I haven’t given much of a shit in many years.
