Using analytics, how do I recover from a break up over quarantine?
Craig Edwards

I don't know why you would use analytics to recover from a breakup, but if you must, make a sad playlist with 10-15 songs, play it on random, count the number of times you listen to it. Remove songs when they no longer make you sad until you no longer have a playlist. Then you will be recovered using analytics.

Will you make a formula for that?

No. You should. It will help with the breakup.

Over the last week I've looked at a few other sites that charge monthly memberships, like Baseball America, for example, and their monthly charges are significantly higher than FanGraphs. There's a D1 baseball site that charges $15/month, which is in line with BA. FanGraphs offers the most useful content of all, in my opinion. Would FG consider raising their membership prices, even if temporarily?

Those sites have a paywall and FanGraphs is still free for everyone. If people want to give more to FanGraphs than a membership (https://plus.fangraphs.com/product/fangraphs-membership/) they can in the form of going ad-free, gifting membership, or simply donating.

David Appelman recently updated our efforts and has been pretty transparent about what has happened. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/a-fangraphs-business-update/

Anyway, the support everyone has shown for the site has been fantastic, and hopefully after we get through this, FanGraphs will still be around in roughly the same form that everyone knows and loves.

I have to get going, but thanks again for all the questions.
