'The Daily' Reports 100,000 Paying Subs on One-Year Anniversary

Need 500,000 users to make it even and 7 years to make it profitable? What kind of structure these morons have in place to create a simple iPad application to make it profitable? If by even they mean to support the board luxuries on the french riviera, buckets of caviar and using $1,000 bills to light their cigars, than I can see the point. :eek:

Wow. Just wow. You hipsters are really missing some key points.

1. The quote says "the average time it takes for a new magazine publication to get profitable is five to seven years." That's evidently for all new magazines, not just digital ones.

2. Both print and digital news have expenses, like skilled reporters traveling around interviewing people, doing investigative journalism.

I know you hipsters aren't used to understanding that quality things require money. You hipsters are used to your free things and low-quality bloggers who just regurgitate press releases. Wow. Just wow. You hipsters get everything free one way or another, don't you? Free news, free food, free clothes. It must be nice being a 99%-er.

They have reporters, photographers, etc that travel all over the world reporting the news everyday. I can see how this would take awhile to be fully profitable.

What passes for news around here lately is pathetic.

This is one of the first daily iPad only magazines, I think its important to know how its doing...

Dozens of dedicated reporters, apparently.

I could be wrong, and I'm just taking a wild guess on this - but I don't think macrumoruser10 likes hipsters.

I'm old enough to remember what hipster meant a long time ago - the word coming out of the Jazz culture.. (Of course, I'm old enough to remember the Big Bang). I can't quite figure out what "hipster" means now. May I should hate them, too.:confused: :rolleyes:

Dang it and I just paid $6.50 for this sandwich! I could of got it free!

Three words:
Rupert Murdoch. Pass.

WTF are you in high school? How about you give us your rant on the goths, skaters, and jocks too?

I'm totally stealing your quote.

We're all hipsters? How did you figure that?

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what a "hipster" is supposed to look like, but somehow, I don't think this is one of them: http://flavors.me/pivo6 (http://flavors.me/pivo6)

He doesn't look like one of these: http://www.antiquiet.com/features/editorials/2008/11/how-do-i-know-if-im-a-hipster/ (http://www.antiquiet.com/features/editorials/2008/11/how-do-i-know-if-im-a-hipster/)

That being said, pivo6, I don't think macrumorsuser10 was talking to you or "we all." I think he was talking to MarsSpaceship. And while it's impossible to label him as a hipster without actually seeing/meeting him or her, it's fair to say that the username, MarsSpaceship, is highly suggestive. Furthermore, his lack of understanding of how a business operates, and his flippant use of the term "morons" in describing the people who run News Corp is perhaps most suggestive. Yep, I think hipster is a safe bet.
