I definitely agree that there is way too much gossip shit on the front page. I also agree that it is interesting to see the outside world's view on freeskiing, it just makes me hope that it dies down after the Olympics because that shit is stupid as fuck.

Also, Newschoolers is blowing up my facebook newsfeed. Not like that's newschoolers' fault though. Fuck you facebook, just because I click a couple of links from someone doesn't mean I want my newsfeed to be 90% newschoolers and 10% people I don't give a shit about.

I think the future of this site is way more filtering, just like you say. THe new generation will have their own opinions, but that doesn't mean that the older generation's opinions become invalid.

Personalization so you can do a better job of viewing what you want and ignoring what you don't like is key.

I do support to the death though the idea of finally breaking the bro cycle. Who am I to tell you guys what is cool? For that matter, who is LaFa, who is Mousseau, who are the powder editors? I mean they have some education, but I think that the masses have an understanding of what they do/don't like.

Plus, every time you have power to be the gatekeeper of cool, its way too easy to become corrupt. Your bro calls you up and says "Hey bro, can you get my content some love?" and whether or not that content is good, people in media ALWAYS end up hooking up their bros.

I found it incredibly fascinating to see what is was that the mainstream media focused on. I mean its so nuts the level of bullshit content that came out.

Its the same reason I sub to /r/cringe - its unreal sometimes to see the horseshit that people do.

In a way, it exposed some of the bad sides of the Olympics more than any article we could have ever written.

I do miss the personal contents. The articles are sick and I love the photo/forum/news all mixed together.

Sick job guys!

I agree. The one reason I like freeskiing is because it lacks conventional sensationalism found in most other facets of our society.

1 week after the olympics, I'm already pretty bummed to see how much lousy BS "news" the media has generated about freesking and how much of that media that has been posted to NS.

I don't want to log into NS and read some bullshit I could read in People Magazine. I want to see FREESKIING
