The site used to pride itself on having at least a modicum of integrity and ethics but that seems to have been lazily discarded in this latest awful, toxic press-generating “shake-up/editorial bloodbath.” It was not terribly surprising, given the way the site has historically treated its veteran writers, invaluable freelancers and history. It was credited to the A.V Club staff but I was mortified to discover that the article was, in fact, “written” largely by people who left The A.V Club to form The Dissolve and many other former staff writers and cherished freelancers who today want nothing to do with the site or its current owners and have not been a part of the section for a very long time. I’m not sure why but I clicked on a “new” article about the best movies and TV shows to watch on various streaming services. Yesterday I happened to stumble on my old employers once again. That was unfortunate but honestly nothing that affects my day to day life as a full-time freelancer and website proprietor. That means that a tongue-in-cheek photo essay about my time at a junket for Idle Hands is now completely nonsensical, since all of the humor came from interplay between the pictures and the captions.
