10/10 would recommend

  • (not the execs of) IGN

Makes sense, it's now or never probably. IGN is 100% a "content volume over content quality" type of company, the type that would replace a lot of the writing and editorial staff with AI as soon as it became a half-decent alternative. So might as well put pressure on them and exercise bargaining power to get some guarantees while you still have leverage and they still need you.

IGN has workers? I thought that shit was all ai by now.

I hope they somehow got rid of the worst dregs of IGN before they made this union otherwise getting rid of them in the future is going to be tuff likely.
