Bingo
Has anyone heard any more about this?
I reckon one of the admins (possibly the owners) got sick or something a few months back but there's literally been no explanation out there as to what's happened to that business or page that I can find.
If you're in the local sports media industry, the SA Footballer Facebook page had a strong following due to the content submitted by clubs announcing their recruits.
The "journalism" produced outside of the submitted content was pretty entry level but the huge following on social media left admins with an extremely inflated sense of self importance and given some of the responses on here, a few people have had personal dealings and experienced similar.
While acknowledging the huge throng of online followers, the business then sold advertising into its publications under false readership claims, suggesting in all their marketing they had 155,000 readers of their magazine - which is of course, a huge lie.
So misleading businesses into paying for advertising on the back of false readership claims is among some of the garbage that went on.
Anyway, the streaming coverage of games, I think was pretty popular and from what I could tell, it looked like the best thing they were doing.
Is any of that continuing? Where has this online tyrant disappeared to?
Right in front of me. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
