Peter - great article! Are you on contract with Jalopnik [edit - he is], or is this a true (rare) share to Jalopnik of an OPPO post?

I thought Oppo shares to the FP were a thing of the past!

I thought so, to, and hoping this is a sign of good things to come!

Whoa- I think it’s been a few years since I saw this! Awesome!

Agreed. Oppo shares to the FP made both the FP and Oppo a better place.

Peter’s already a FP author, which is probably why they were willing to make the share.
I don’t think any nightly shit posting will make the cut.

I think that Jimmy Park post has potential.

pretty exciting! I hope they share my one with a kangaroo pooping out vegemite next!!!

Definitely. Would love to see it come back as a regular thing.

Yeah, wishful thinking, I guess...

Regular- unlikely. But maybe even occasional would be cool. I feel like there’s at least one, maybe two posts a month that are better than the usual FP material.

It looks like Peter is on the Jalop staff, so it’s probably just a one-off.
A big reason that people aren’t putting the work into OPPO posts anymore is that there doesn’t feel like there could be any pay-off for putting the time in... I mean, who wants to put hours of work into something to end up getting 50 views 2 comments and no shot at a FP share for a wider audience?

Hey now, speak for yourself, I put plenty of work into this .

You did, and I appreciate it, and a great conversation was had!
I’m definitely speaking for myself. I used to be willing to put lots of time into some of my OPPO posts, but it’s hard for me to spend more than a few minutes on one at this point...

Yeah, I’ve put lots of work into a few posts and I think my most popular just broke 1k views a few weeks ago. Granted, a number of them were originally published on O&E and shared to oppo, but still.

I disagree. There are usually many more, multiple a week. Not every FP article is all that lengthy or well researched. Furthermore, if we know FP shares are plausible some people might put in some extra effort.

True, and true. Agreed on all accounts. Maybe at least one a month that’s knock-your-socks-off good. Weekly, yeah- lots better. Probably why I spend far more time reading here than on the FP.

Definitely agree on the last point! Hey, would you be interested in helping out as an “editor” on DasWauto’s http://oppositeblog.kinja.com/ ? It’s a continuation of his “The Best of OPPO” that he and I came up with. It’s very low-effort, all we do is share high-quality content from OPPO to the page, so it’s all OPPO posts, just less and only the best stuff.

Sure, I’d love to help out! I’m familiar with the blog.

Added - thanks!
Here’s the crew (505 is mostly absent from OPPO):

Especially considering there isn’t anything posted on the weekends except motorsports schedules.
