Evo magazine - seems like everyone's leaving
Discussion
I thought it was only me that noticed - Nick Trott Editor in Chief, Jethro, Henry Catchpole and Hunter Skipworth - within the last week - It's a massacre.
The middle two guys' words were certainly the only reason I paid the subscription.
What the hell has happened?
Are drive tribe throwing serious money around or has evo management lost its edge following the office move??

I particularly like this bit of PH-baiting nonsense on their About page:
"GAMERS HAVE GOT TWITCH, TRAVELLERS HAVE GOT TRIP ADVISOR AND FASHION FANS HAVE GOT, OH, SOMETHING OR OTHER TOO. BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE INTO CARS HAVE GOT NOWHERE. THERE'S NO GRAND-SCALE ONLINE MOTORING COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE CAN MEET AND SHARE VIDEO, COMMENTS, INFORMATION AND OPINION. DRIVETRIBE WILL CHANGE THAT. AND THEN SOME."

Only the TG boys could get away with such brazen BS!

Interesting stuff! Seems the YouTubers are into it too - MrJWW seems to be involved as well.
And PH favourite Shmee150. As an old fart I am not sure how this DriveTribe is going to work: YouTube? Blog? Mag? Certainly lots of clout to start with.
I haven't subscribed to car mags for a few years after taking most of them. Evo got a bit too Porsche-y and samey; Octane was entertaining but a bit too "what larks".
DriveTribe whatever it is certainly has the big names and, you would assume, a fair bit of cash behind it.
Many moons ago I used to read Performance Car, then it got a new editor, went to st in a couple of issues, and low and behold half of the original hacks and photographer turn up (set up?) Evo. Plus ca change. Sad to hear that Evo is imploding, just as I was sad to watch PC fall apart. While I'm meandering down Memory Lane, the back page of PC was handed over to Clarkson for some light entertainment. His car reviews on other pages were light weight compared to the other hacks, but his rambling diatribes on the back page were works of genius.
Somebody from the publishing company will read this so can I take the opportunity to say Octane is now the most boring and odd looking car magazine on the planet.
I will buy any car magazines but I cannot bear it. It is impossible to navigate and reads like an Ikea instruction manual.
Look at copies from a couple of years ago, fire the editor and art director and start again please. Its BORING as hell
