More posts meant more eyeballs; more eyeballs meant more money. They went from publishing 10 slideshows a day to posting upwards of 40, with a special eye toward funny home videos, epic fails, cool tricks, and, of course, hot women.
Check this out. A pivotal moment arrived in when Leo decided to pour all of their money into creating a mobile app. It would turn out to be a fortuitous moment for the company. This was before the App Store was flooded with applications — the Golden Age when people posted earnest statuses on Facebook and believed Twitter could spark a revolution.
It got 16 million downloads in the first year. In , John and Leo realized they needed The Chive to make more money. So the brothers started selling T-shirts. The shirt strategy was an immediate success. John 2 only got to see the lobby. The limited supply of T-shirts also made having one a status symbol. As the shirts sold, Chivers began forming Facebook groups to meet other fans in their area.
Holub was part of the group that formed in Chicago, and she helped throw the very first event. This momentum might have eventually fizzled had The Chive not launched a charity arm in with a focus on veterans, first responders, and people with rare medical conditions. If The Chive heard about a family who needed an accessible vehicle to transport their kid with special needs, Chive Charities fundraised to get the car.
Holub now works with Chive Charities. Philanthropy took off within the local Chive communities, as it has in fraternities across the United States. It gave the groups a shared sense of purpose and provided a smokescreen for their less noble activities, like binge drinking.
The meetups still mostly took place at bars, but now all of the money went to charity. Chivers also started leaving notes and money on random cars if they noticed a Chive sticker on the bumper. Many of them were just out of college and liked that the office felt like a party. Two former employees say John would often get on the loudspeaker in the late afternoon and announce it was time to start drinking.
They also say he had a policy that if an employee got laid by telling someone they worked at The Chive, they owed him a bottle of whiskey. Most of the time, the alleged antics were fun.
But occasionally, they crossed a line. In , John called an all-hands meeting to announce he was dating his assistant. When the pair broke up, the tension spilled over into the workplace. I thought it was a great place to work. I slowly realized how toxic it was. John then responded with his own definition.
In , while much of the country was reckoning with the MeToo movement, The Chive continued with business as usual. Women still sent in photos, and The Chive encouraged men to be respectful in the comments. Pretty cool, just bought the Pro Version. Following TheChive for months, this is a great extra value! Also gifs as expected dont work. Like this post? You decide… 20 Photos. Android App Please. Yeah, and when is the PC app coming out?
Can't wait… Hugs, Paula — the one you love to hate. Android Tablet compatible too! Steve Jobs only had to die for this to happen. I think his exact words the first time it was rejected were: "Over my dead body! Chive On!!!!!!!! Only if you read the "Notes" section above first. Then they work. All methed up. Will GIFs work on either version. I bet it'll work on the Android version! Rochelle Matty Rochelle. I concur: m. I'm already chomping at the proverbial bit!
Thank you Chive, that is all.
