This has been a fun outlet for me, and I've written some stuff there I'm really happy with. More than that, though, it has been reliably excellent to read every day, with a wide array of posts from a very diverse and talented group of people. I'm biased, but I think it's a steal for the price.
I think my favorite aspect is having no idea whatsoever what you're going to be reading tomorrow. Like, I like Defector, but I pretty much know I'm going to be reading about sports and pop culture. Which is great! I like reading about that stuff! But there's something wonderful about the unexpected.
