I have Economist subscription and U Block, never seen any video ads. Why do you think the content has gotten worse?

  I feel the content has become less evidence based, less thorough, less anlytic, less principled and less hard hitting than it used to be. There's more purely anecdotal/cultural stuff that I can get anywhere. They used to ask important questions, investigate them thoroughly and then make the case for a particular conclusion. You could agree or disagree, but now it's often just an exercise in careful fence sitting, in "being sensible", even on matters where taking a principled stand is the obvious thing to do. That said, I'm not entirely certain if it's me who has changed or The Economist or both.
