Ryan received nudes from at least two women I spoke with, one of whom said she did it because she was afraid he [sic] would hurt himself if she didn’t.

Just dayum.

On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog, or whatever.

Growing up on the wannerful Nortwest side of Chicaga and being a lifelong Cubs fan, I can understand how a Sox fan could be a little...strange. This seems stranger than usual.

No one is beating down my internet door asking for nudes (and I’m a guy), but if anyone says they need nude photos or else they will “hurt themselves” the answer is, “sad to hear it, you should get help right away” ..... who on earth sends nude photos to strangers on the internet, and especially under such pressure???

So many people in this world are simply nuts.

Yes weird. And also so?

Writers often used fake names. Female writers have often written under male pseudonyms, especially in areas of interest to males.

The funny thing is that arrogant and smarmy Sabermetric aficionados are reading teenage girls stuff.

One more thing.

They are talking about a career.

Did she actually get paid for writing at these blogs?

Was she being paid to write or was this strictly voluntary?

She was paid. ‘Baseball Prospectus’ is not a blog, but a respected source of statistical analysis of MLB. Political prognosticator Nate Silver was once with Baseball Prospectus.

Quite likely, yes. In the blogoverse, you can start small as a little known poster, but if you get enough attention and eyes/views, you can become a ‘contributor’, in which case you will receive a small sum based on the number of views/clicks your articles attract.

This is part of why many people pimp their blogs/articles on FR, to get the views/clicks/moneyz.

From the sounds of things, she was fairly ‘successful’. She probably could have continued the lie and made decent money at it.

Decent being a relative term, that is...

Both fascinating and infuriating.
I’ll bet this has been happening far, far more frequently that the average poster would imagine.
There are thousands of people who have been quietly laughing all the way to the bank for years!
