I genuinely refuse to believe UniLAD employed that many people

I’m actively denying these facts

Not sure about the link between them now but bumped into an old friend at Primavera last year who edits content on Ladbible and they appear to have undergone the same shift. He was a bit dismayed at how their content had been misinterpreted in the past. Seems that they have aimed at being a more progressive influence for those who would otherwise be the stereotypical lads™.

Imagine having ‘Content Thief At UniLAD’ on your CV.

A friend from my hometown shares a lot of there stuff. Seems to be quite a bit of positive mental health stuff amongst the tired banter and years old links. Don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as it used to be.

Might be thinking of Ladbible actually

Can someone explain to me what Unilad and Ladbible is? What’s their business model? Never heard of Unilad. Know Ladbible, but only from mentions on these boards.

If you can map it onto 80s or 90s cultural references, that would be grand.

they share ‘content’ they deem their audience will find funny or noteworthy or even makeuthink.

gifs, meme pictures, short videos that would’ve been rejected by you’ve been framed in 1993 for not being funny enough, that sort of stuff.

They create veeeeeeeeerryy little of their own stuff, if anything at all. I haven’t seen a lot of it recently but when it first became popular, it was targeted at/by stereotypical lad students into ‘banter’ and there were all sorts of horrible things on there. Apparently it toned down towards the end of its life.

Their revenue is/was generated by people clicking on said content, sharing it on FB etc, and the Ad revenue that is generated from that.

Those candy floss grapes are just a certain breed of grape that happen to taste like candy floss btw. What the fuck. They’re not even created artificially.

where can i get these

Think all the supermarkets sell them… but not in every store if that makes sense.

Aldi seem to be the most reliable round here. They do another couple of varieties that are similar too.

Without wanting to make light of redundancies (good people do shitty jobs sometimes), what would you tell people you did for a living if you were getting paid to tweet videos of people falling over all day?

I’m no technophobe, but with so many people nowadays i feel like saying "right, i appreciate you do x…but what’s your…job, though?’.

before it went under i picked up one or two of the shite free NMEs towards the end for no real reason. there was one of those bits where they talk to people in the street about the music they’re listening to and clothes they’re wearing. where it lists ‘occupation’ i saw a ‘Creative’ and a ‘Vlogger’ and got really stupidly irked.
