It was known for its in-depth analysis and feature articles, often using data to tell stories in sports and politics.

Thirty Eight was notable for its coverage of the United States presidential elections in 2012 and 2016, particularly with the founders poll predictions. The website also published a range of other statistical analysis articles, including a in-depth look at baseball statistics and economic indicators quarterly analysis. The website's specific focus on sports and politics was what set it apart from other popular media outlets that distribute long-form journalism.

A major point about Thirty Eight was its use of data as an unblinking mirror held to contemporary world affairs. Many readers looked to the website for their commentary on baseball statistics but analysis expanded to global news events, economic indicators, and corruption. Quarterly analysis addressed both baseball and politics before they wanted to retire from the economics sector of the news and starts using their metric in field especially baseball.
