Pros

You get to work with others which is always nice. I have not had any problems.

Cons

The only downside would be the pay as it is based on views. If you write many articles each month, you should not have a problem.

Pros

They seemed committed to resisting AI content, and encouraged opinion-based writing, which is rare and something I respected going in.

Cons

You get absolutely zero feedback. I was let go without a single note about what they were looking for or what wasn’t working — just a vague email saying they were “moving in another direction.” That was the first communication I’d gotten about the quality of my work. The pay is insulting: $0.25 for every 2,000 views. It's the same recycled movie/TV takes, hitting that number isn’t realistic unless you’re chasing clicks or parroting others. If you want to write about comics (or anything outside of MCU), good luck — the media library is incredibly limited, so every article ends up using the same 20 images. No original art or alternate sources allowed, which kills creativity and makes the site feel like a stale thumbnail farm. The advertisements make the site unreadable. Ultimately, it’s just another clickbait mill pretending to care about quality. There’s no investment in contributors, just output, which isn't even good if you're bored.
