I noticed that a lot of my favorite Instapaper reads were from Defector so I joined Defector recently. It's my first time paying for journalism, which is maybe embarrassingly late to note? I was also surprised to see that Defector is nominally a sports publication. There's lots and lots of great non-sports stuff on there.
