I think, if he was just own up to what they were doing, I wouldn't have a problem with him.

they came out later and said, 'Well, if we hadn't done that, they would have driven to someone else.' Oh! So it was not about getting them on the road. It's about taking that money yourself.

That's the thing with Travis, he digs in his heels. And uh... And his done this holding how corrupt everyone was, 'We would never do back-room deals.' What does he do? [He] turns around and does backroom deals.

I think the surge price was, in general, genius. I think doing it in a national disaster... [is not].

I think, a world in which the people are leading that blog, it's, like, it's so divorced from what we've built. It's so... At some point, it's like... It's like a sports team, where you are rooting for the jersey. Because, like, it's not the same place, it's run by AOL, it has a totally different strategy, even on the business side.

It just shows how much AOL doesn't give a f**k about that brand. They're letting these people self-destruct in public. And it's unseemly.

TechCrunch declined so much, that it would've been more of a turnaround. Coming in also trying to put all the work to rebuild that, and do it for AOL, versus start from the scratch and build something from your vision. It just was no contest, which I would rather be doing.
