Deadspin’s New Owners Are Embracing Betting Content—but Not AI

Since being acquired by media company Great Hill Partners, Deadspin has undergone some major changes. One of the biggest shifts in content strategy has been the emphasis on betting-related articles and features. With the legalization of sports betting in many states across the US, it seems like a logical move for the popular sports blog.

However, one area where Deadspin’s new owners are drawing the line is artificial intelligence (AI). While AI technology has become increasingly prevalent in sports media, particularly in predicting outcomes and analyzing player performance, Deadspin has made it clear that they are not interested in incorporating AI into their content.

Instead, Deadspin is focusing on delivering high-quality, human-driven sports coverage that resonates with their audience. By sticking to their roots as a platform for passionate sports fans and unique voices, Deadspin’s new direction is a refreshing change in today’s tech-driven media landscape.
