Well at least you don’t have to pay for it.
In other news, Josh responded to Dawg Nation’s yelps of agony:
“We’ll continuously evaluate how we operate whether that’s something that will live behind the paywall, whether it’s something that is an exclusive window on one day and something that’s open to everyone days later,” Brooks said on Friday Sept. 11 after a meeting of the UGA athletic board at the Georgia Center.
The post on X, formerly Twitter, received a community note: “In order to watch the full highlights on gloryglorygeorgia.com, users have to not only sign up but pay for a subscription, with the minimum cost being $20/month.”
Brooks said he’s sensitive to the response and will “always try to keep an open ear to the reactions of our fans. I don’t let Twitter drive everything I do because it can become an echo chamber, but at the same time I’ve talked to several fans since then. I’ve got a good group of individuals that I reach out to or reach out to me to gauge the temperature on issues like that.”
He called this “a great week for us,” with a 10 percent increase in Glory Glory membership.
“I think we’re pushing 2,000 right now,” he said of total memberships.
Georgia offered a year’s free subscription to the platform for students who applied for UGA football tickets.
I’m not sure if that’s a typo, but having 2000 total memberships isn’t something to brag about. I’m assuming it’s to say 2000 additional memberships? At any rate, it’s bringing us this today.
Meh. I don’t think they would’ve done this over an additional 40k a month, so I’m guessing membership is higher than that.
I think meant 2000 additional subscribers. I subscribe to GG and went to the “private practice” for members in August and there had to be 7 or 8000 people there, roughly. And you can’t assume all subscribers attended. I’m 100% against pay-walling something as basic as highlights. I understand they want to offer members “exclusivity” in certain areas but that was a misfire.
The weather is going to ruin the look of the white out unless the rain currently in the northeast metro gets the hell out of here. I have my rain pants and a red rain half-zip ready to go.
I’m betting the Greek sections of the upper deck student section are going to be a ghost town today.
It was a great idea that is likely to fizzle out due to the weather.
No. No it wasn’t a good idea.
I’m eating my words … stadium looks great. It’s not completely full, but folks wore white.
Would think the avg GG contributor paying $50/mo (TXBaller @ $75/mo).
At 2000 – $50/mo = $1.2mm/yr.
So, enough to buy another 3 star backup.
They have different levels of subscriptions? What could possibly be the difference?
