How to Find Titles
Hey kids,
It looks like the investors rewarded Demand’s earnings report on Friday by boosting the stock to over the $7 mark.
How’s Demand doing this, you ask? Why they’re firing EVERYONE.
DSS regular passed us this email they received over the weekend. Apparently it was also received by other Titling departments, not just QA.
Dear Title QA Community,
As many of you are aware, we’ve been making some changes to our titling workflow to keep up with the changing needs of our content partners. Thanks to your contributions and through the efforts of our entire Title QA community, we have successfully created a library of millions of titles. As we now shift our focus from eHow to creating content for various partners, we’ll be able to use this existing library of titles.
Unfortunately, this means we will not require the services of a Title QA team at this time and will remove permissions for everyone in this role on February 21, 2012.
While this may be the end of one opportunity in the Studio, it is the beginning of several new business initiatives. We invite you to read more about Demand Media’s plans for new content creation. We realize some of you have been with us in this role for quite some time, and we sincerely thank you for your contributions and dedication over the years.
Sincerely,
Demand Media Studios Titling Team
You claim to be a proponent of free speech, but you run quickly to delete and ban those who don’t agree with you.
Identify theft. Using other people’s SS numbers is STILL a felony. Erasing posts that tell the world who you are and what your game is won’t erase the crimes.
You’re a bit of a Major League Jerk.

The sad part is that DMS won’t STOP stringing people along. Some lady in the forums was like “yippe, I got excepted to food!” Which part of “there’s nothing to write and there NEVER WILL BE” don’t these people get. It’s just sad as hell. Makes Jonestown look like child’s play, or at least explains how and why Jonestown happened.

Some people may be deluded enough to think that Demand will let people create their own titles, or that all these partnership publishers will provide the titles from now on.
News Flash: The partners aren’t even paying for these articles up front; they’re taking them and giving DM some rev share in exchange. They’re certainly not going out of their way to create titles for this crap.
Anyway, DM doesn’t need to create new titles for these partners publishers when it already has bajillions of titles on eHow. Since the partners have their own domains, the duplicate title rule won’t apply. For example, if “How to Save Money on Toilet Paper” already exists on eHow, they can recycle the title for use on NatGeo, just making sure that the article itself is different.
eHow is dead. What remains to be seen is if these new partnerships will be a new source of writing assignments. My guess is no, given the fates of others who came before.

Dear DSS Watcher,
As I have told you repeatedly, there is no money in the demand budget for your trolling. Since you are doing it for free, like your mother, try to do a better job. Your volunteering is an embarassment to good trolling everywhere. You are strictly amateur, little one.
I’d wish you good luck, but you wouldn’t know what to do with it.
Remember: suicide is painless. Give it a try. Die.

Gotta love the cheek on these bast*rds. Every finance page in every major newspaper in the country has an article about Demand Media’s stock bounce, and none of it features a negative analysis.
Somehow, a gang of burger flippers and one failed day trader thinks they know better than paid pros (and I mean real pros, not wannabes like Kathy Kindred).
Hot debate. What do you think?

I don’t write for Demand Media. Have no desire to. The pay is shit. But I have read about the company on Forbes and elsewhere, which ultimately led me to this site.
Peopled who claim Demand media has lots of verticals and plenty of writing work either have insider information or they are liars. There is no evidence to suggest Demand Media will survive through 2012. Anyting else is just irrational exuberance.
I also believe the claims odf deman knowing anyone’s indentity are the claims of a liar. Demand Media, fro hwat I have heard, read and seen, produces bottom-of-the-barrel junk by people in dire need of a few dollars. The company cannot keep up with the maintenance of its own servers, much less the apparently legitimate complaints of people who have been treated badly by this very bad corporation.
Have at it, trolls. I couldn;t care less what you think, as I won;t be wasting time to return here to view your silly temper tantrums. This is directed specifically at DSS Watcher, who clearly has a concealed agenda, and DJK, whatever you are.

I am speaking to you from the future.
I will be writing about all of you on my blog, refuting every point you make. Point by point. I have cloned my left hand to assist in my typing (and for other reasons). Now I will be able to blog better. Stronger. Faster.
Because I am in the future, now, you will be powerless to stop me, because I will always be ahead of you.
Ha. Bwa-ha. Bwahahaha.
P.S. In the future, I have cured kenny’s cancer, but not his penchant for writing shitty eBooks, or my own tendency to spew whoopity-woo gibberish, for that matter.
I don’t care. This is how I roll. In the future.
Now, where did I put that Astroglide and my bowling ball? I could use a thrill right about now.

Jeremy, it’s not Thursday. Field trip day is Thursday. You must remain in the institution until then. You know you’re not allowed outside without supervision.

Keep telling yourself that, maybe you’ll eventually convince yourself.
The truth is – DSS is the institution where the mentally deficient hang out. Of course, they also hang on every word written on the DMS boards, such is their obsession with their failure to succeed at DMS. Then they scurry back over to DSS like little rats, spreading their faeces as far as they can…but stopping just short of owning up to their actions.
The ultimate in antisocial personalities in a forum that encourages mass think. Oooh, you must feel sooooo important.
You’re all little followers. Unable to make it on your own, despite your announcements that you have “better” sources than DMS.
You’re not fooling anyone. Everyone knows you’re failures. We just enjoy coming over occasionally when we need a good laugh.
Get out there now and crack funny. I’m waiting for a funny fix.

If the shoe fits – kick yourself with it. Nothing I’ve said here is incorrect. Only antisocial posters frequent the forums at DSS. If that’s you – then you have a problem. You can keep patting yourself on the back all you want, it won’t change the facts. Only a malcontent with *issues* is going to come over here and trash the company they’re drooling over to find sparse little titles. The truth is – DMS already knows who a number of you are, so for those…there won’t be any more “approvals.” If you’ve escaped identification so far, enjoy it. It won’t last.
Meanwhile, verticals are forming, many writers have full queues and more partnerships are on the way.
You made a choice as did all the tards here. With choices come consequences. Put on your big girl panties and realize that what goes around, comes around. Or don’t. The end result is all the same.
You’re a failure and so is every one of the “regulars” here. Failures. Society’s cast-offs.

If it were any company other than DM, I would say that the writers could produce titles based on some algorithm-produced keyword phrases.
But since it’s DM I know they’d rather run Kevin Lee’s farts through a speect-to-text program than trust their contractors to develop article ideas that people (rather than search engine bots) would actually want to read.

The one thing I can say about this is that it’s obvious that so long as DM is alive and kicking, they will pursue more partnerships. They have a few new ones kicking right now, as any DM-watcher worth his salt knows. Maybe those titles were done before titling-as-we-know-it was closed, maybe not.
You don’t know what they are going to do. The only clear conclusion is that the old system, built for turning out 5,000 crappy articles a day, isn’t needed anymore. That’s it. Anything else is just the ill-informed, moronic speculation of a handful of bitter assh*les.
