My wife is playing FF for the first time this year, in a family league our nephew spun up.
I’d asked before, she never showed interest, but is competitive, and has gotten into it a little, frequently looking at stuff like site projections, asking a lot of questions. It’s been fun!
Also had some injury issues. Achane. Breece. Navigating that, trying to find pickups, now dealing with byes in a league with a shallow bench — it’s a lot for a newer player.
For me, it’s been a reminder what some of the stuff I take for granted feels like.
I just asked about waivers this week. “I… can’t. This is the least fun I’ve ever had.”

After a decorated 24-year run at ESPN, Nicole Noren resigned in protest.
She couldn’t go along with the network’s all-out embrace of gambling.
For the first time publicly, in @CJR, Noren shares the deeply personal reasons behind her decision.

its on you to give people reason to read even if they know the names of your picks

A lot has changed in FAVOR of content creators since I was first over there. For a long time, self-promotion wasn't allowed, period. Now it is. But, at its heart, that subreddit is still a community. And the ONLY goal is to help each other get better at fantasy football. That's it.
If you are a part of that community and are genuinely there to help people win (and maybe have a little fun talking ball along the way), then you will have a good time. If all you are looking for is clicks, then it probably isn't going to be a good experience for you or for the community. It has never been about that - not back then and not now.
But I will say, if you do engage the community in good faith, which does mean sharing some of your thoughts and your takes for free without immediately getting something back in return, then you will gain some fans and make some friends over there. I guarantee it. I get that some folks aren't interested in that or don't have time but there are a lot of other websites/forums/apps etc. for those people to try to drum up some engagement. The only people that forum should be catering to are the people who are there every day trying to learn or trying to teach.

I remember when I first started posting on reddit & it just feels like it’s come so far for the fantasy football community. The responses, the engagement, all of it, is just way better than where it was 3-5 years ago, which is a testament to y’all.
A year ago, we had another moderator post on the "saved you a click" / TL;DR culture. It has some good insights on moderator thoughts, community perspective, etc. Link below.
Always happy to chat via modmail with content creators who have questions about responses or engagement!
I don't have ☑️ so I can't respond in a single Tweet, but if your primary motivation is clicks, Reddit is not the best place.
For better or worse, TL;DR is Reddit culture...
Part of my contract with USA Today involves me posting my matchups article on Reddit each week
Which is great overall, my 2 posts have gotten over 250,000 combined views so far...
However, after posting my Week 2 piece earlier today, someone commented the player names for the 3 matchups I like and the 3 matchups I didn't like this week
I responded that it was a dick move, and that behavior like this will only *increase* the amount of AI-generated content out there
Depressing page views will only lead to worse analysis as more companies cannot justify paying actual writers if the clicks simply aren't there
Within 5 minutes, my comment received 50 downvotes (seriously)
So I'm posing this question here, if someone told you the 6 player names from my article and whether I liked/didn't like their matchup... would that make you more or less likely to read the piece?
But we're not in every post, and I can't personally encourage every creator on best practices to avoid nasty comments. We're a moderated community but don't see everything in real time.

Every week, all season, I recap every game, in depth, including the biggest "Signal" and "Noise"
✅Watched every snap of every game Sun/Mon
✅~30 min+ per team analyzing/writing up Mon/Tue
✅Every player, all 32 teams, recalibrated
✅Signal and Noise bullets
With 3.4 mil subs and 3+ mil daily visits, there are definitely uneducated and downright bad fantasy players on Reddit.
It's why I bring in analysts for AMAs to help people get better!
Best I can tell though, nobody was trying to trade Bowers for Black. Here's closest I found
