They're about marketing and making money, and currently having a more diverse model line-up is what they think will make them more money. Maybe it's about social circumstances, but only if they're making money.

Maybe it's about social circumstances, but only if they're making money. They should be about making money, but I don't think their current direction lines up with that priority. If they do truly believe they'll make more money with a "diverse" line up, then whoever is making the decisions is delusional. Just like Playboy, the SI Swimsuit issue is in a death spiral, partially of their own making.
July 29, 20213 yr I could understand such decision strategy for a company that sells cloths and swimsuit etc but for a publication that only demonstrates beautiful bodies it is not logical.

Their current strategy probably reflects a desire to pursue a specific niche, since it is incredibly easy to see top models being hot on Instagram now. Nobody has to wait for SI to see pictures of today's Laetitias Casta or Elsas Beniteze at the beach in swimsuits. Models post that stuff to stories for free all the time. As to whether the particular niche they're going with, which is to put it neutrally a kind of socially conscious promotion of wider beauty standards, is successful, without seeing their financials we can only speculate. It's (logically) valid, but without inside information we can't be sure if it's (logically) sound. Likewise, Playboy knows as well as anyone else how easy it is to get free and high quality nudes by anyone over 12 with an internet connection. It is literally impossible to compete directly with that.
