kirbs84 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I know many of you dislike the site and the (former?) owner, but I'm still interested in how much he got from the deal. http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=316469 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skumbucket Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 maybe he can use it to buy back some of the cred he lost by whoring out his recommendations to the sticker on the shrink wrap of mediocre albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 maybe he can use it to buy back some of the cred he lost by whoring out his recommendations to the sticker on the shrink wrap of mediocre albums. He never had credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 So Jason Tate is now a thousand-aire? Good for him. Even before this buyout, dude made much, much more money than probably 99% of the people on this board. When your website is bringing in six figures in ad dollars and your staff is volunteer... Well, you do the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felicia Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 So Jason Tate is now a thousand-aire? Good for him. he's doing wayyy better than that. i'd say he makes a couple hundred thousand a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 the mere fact that his entire "staff" is all volunteer based when the site pulls in that much revenue is a fucking joke. volunteer for a hospital? sure. never in a fuckin million years would i work for free for someone makin' that kind of money off ad revenue through a music website.
