The most ridiculous thing about DeJan, and there is a lot of material to work with there, is he constantly claims they "don't have to do click bait" because their "audience is their audience."

That is nonsense. He is so desperate to grow his subscription base that just about every headline is blasted out with "EXLCUSIVE!!!" or "YOU WILL ONLY READY IT HERE!!" or "THE STORY ONLY OUR CRACK STAFF OF REPORTERS GOT!!!"

Then you read it and it is something as dumb as this piece about the ushers. Or it is some vague thing Jordy Mercer said about the Nicasio situation blown way out of proportion and turned into a Woodward and Bernstein piece. Then there is the granddaddy of them all, an "exclusive" video with the head coach of an NHL team that was taken FROM HIS PRESS CONFERENCE and filmed by a bunch of TV stations and other reporters.

He claims that he doesn't do click bait but everything about that site is click bait and his tweets about all of the stories are click bait.
