Sadly their pitch is probably about right these days.

It's a pity they've chickened out in recent years.

Totally agree, it's very half-baked atm.

I'm sure they're not, but that's what they've got -- and it's continuing to decline.

All of them are either shrinking/stagnant or VC level pitches.

from my understanding they've been going downhill for quite some time.

I largely agree. I think they're on the decline now. I don't know if whatever follows them will be better, but I'd like to think there's at least a chance.

They should just move to something more modern.

Iirc, they didn’t used to be utter shit. They are now.

webwielder2 | karma 2146 | avg karma 5.85 · | 2020-07-19 00:42:55+00:00

But let's be honest, their numbers are probably diminishing too.

fortran77 | karma 37359 | avg karma 3.81 · | 2022-08-11 11:49:25

I can’t help but think they’ve started a long, slow decline.

loeg | karma 21759 | avg karma 2.57 · | 2017-03-08 18:14:30+00:00

They're far too wimpy today.

nir | karma 5115 | avg karma 4.81 · | 2008-10-28 07:35:57

They're really going downhill lately

sokoloff | karma 41892 | avg karma 2.58 · | 2020-06-02 15:44:33

It seems like the last point is sadly becoming less and less true.

ticmasta | karma 1206 | avg karma 3.12 · | 2019-10-09 22:06:24+00:00

Well they have to do something to make up for their continued decline in performance. You don't get to stay the industry darling by living on your historical record forever...

pell | karma 694 | avg karma 2.93 · | 2022-09-16 05:36:14

Where do you see signs of their decline at the moment?

mikeash | karma 74524 | avg karma 3.52 · | 2015-12-15 20:23:02+00:00

Agreed, it's just not quite the same now.

mixmastamyk | karma 12554 | avg karma 1.22 · | 2018-11-30 19:03:28

That's a shame, and increasingly out of touch.

jbledsoe2112 | karma 169 | avg karma 4.57 · | 2022-05-14 19:53:07

Sadly some of those numbers are just that now.

JLW | karma -2 | avg karma -1.0 · | 2011-08-26 19:23:49+00:00

Sadly it's starting to look that way
