RIP Rotoworld

[yinzername]

i'm not really having too much trouble finding and reading the "player news", which was my main use. i do need to rebookmark that page to get to it in one click but that's no biggie. and i like the homepage layout for NFL and fantasy, in fact i never used to go beyond player headlines but i feel like this will draw me back in to read more of the content

I deleted Rotoworld from my bookmarks. Now I’m using FootballGuys RSS player news feed. I still like RW’s headlines summary but oh well. Let me know if you guys find another good one. I also like DLF’s but that’s not up to the minute so I need both

Trash.

Isn’t it exactly the same thing just with a little bit different look? Or is there some big diffs now?

Yeah, still the same information. I will say - and this was clearly the intent - for as cheeks as it now looks on desktop, it's quite clean for mobile. So I'll continue reading the news feed that way, at least.

In more holistic "big picture" terms, their talent is definitely taking a bit of a nosedive - especially with promoting -this much- Matthew Berry (who has never been a thought leader in the fantasy space) and with de-emphasising, then relaunching, and now de-emphasising the Rotoworld branding once again.

Still some great analysts on their team. Some real clunkers have joined the fold more recently, though. A couple I would class as borderline unlistenable/un-readable from a Pods/Articles point of view.

I like the player headlines summary module. That's the first thing I would look at before scrolling through the player news. Hopefully they'll bring that back because I can't seem to find it anymore.

Not understanding the big deal…

*at least for mobile browser, which is the only place I visit the site.

I like that they completely broke the official iOS app. Great job guys.

It looks best on Mobile, which is probably the whole thrust of their redesign.

Now try looking at it on Desktop.

Or... using their old app.

Headlines option was the only purpose of the site for quite awhile. It is gone.

Player profiler

Playerprofiler has become bloated as well. Years ago, Matt Kelley swore against paid advertising on PP, now it's all over the place. I totally understand it, the purpose is to get paid, but it comes off as hypocritical when you look back at how adamant he was against it.

My biggest gripe is the oversaturation of mediocre podcasts they seem to be churning out daily. More isn't always better.

I see soooooo many Podcasts on Spotify. I’ve made life easier by sticking to The Fantasy Footballers first

The amount of hour+ long shows they put out each day is ridiculous. There's just no reason for that much content in June...

I also understand they are a network or whatever these days, but I couldn't care less about a lot of the dudes they throw on there. It's watering down their own product imo

Absolutely agree. I really liked the Matt Kelley and Nate Liss dynamic from years ago. It was entertaining and informative.

All these new hosts across the multitude of shows on their platform are pumping out turkey-and-cheese-on-white-bread podcasts.

On the good side, their banter and jokes and stings are top tier.
