Love this essay. For those of us who have followed Pitchfork for a couple of decades, it’s nice to hear about the internal workings and human beings behind the writing. Thanks for all you’ve done to make it an institution.
I should be thanking you for that! Your early writing on the site was so important, basically broke the story of streaming payouts, was all pretty mysterious before that.

Thank you, Brayden.
Really enjoyed this, thank you Mark - and thank you so much for bringing me in there as occasional writer!

As I recall, all I did was tweet and you reached out to say, is there a bigger idea there worth spinning out…
I will take credit for seeing that tweet and thinking "This would be an interesting story that I haven't seen told yet," ha.
