==Reception==
===Criticism===
Early criticism of Bleacher Report stemmed from the network's initial commitment to an open publishing model. Such critiques cited the fact that all registered users on the website were permitted to publish articles on the site, arguing that Bleacher Report's policy resulted in a glut of low-quality content, which made it difficult for the network's readers to find credible coverage of their favorite teams and sports.<ref>{{cite web|author=Sellathamby, Kevin|url=https://www.battleofcali.com/2010/7/14/1569806/bleacher-report-sucks|title=Bleacher Report Sucks|publisher=Battle of California|date=July 14, 2010|access-date=September 18, 2019}}</ref> It was also argued that the model tarnished the reputation of every writer associated with the Bleacher Report brand, which made it difficult for the network's more talented contributors to build loyal audiences,<ref name="thejetsblog1">{{cite web|url=https://forums.theganggreen.com/threads/why-bleacherreport-is-retarded-part-one-of-a-two-million-part-series.54720/|title=Why BleacherReport Is Retarded: Part One of a Two Million Part Series|publisher=
Since abandoning the [[content farm]] model in 2010, Bleacher Report has been the subject of continued criticism for its exploitation of unpaid contributors, its blanket policy prohibiting writers from breaking their own news, and its high-volume production of low-quality, search-optimized slideshow content.<ref>{{cite web|author=Brown, Larry|url=https://larrybrownsports.com/media/bleacher-report-window-dressing-new-hires/83630|title=Bleacher Report Merely Window Dressing with New Hires|publisher=
===Response===
Bleacher Report attempted to address the concerns of its early critics by making substantive reforms to its editorial and personnel policies in 2010 and 2011. These reforms were aimed chiefly at the mechanics of Bleacher Report's Writer Program, with emphasis on enhancing quality and credibility by doing the following:
