If I understand the root comment correctly, here's my 2c.
Ars used to be the premiere tech news website, focused on tech instead of things like society and politics.
After it was acquired by conde Nast (owner of wired) many think there has been a steady drop in quality of writing on that website, and a move away from tech towards political things, similar to Wired.
I'm not sure if I'd attribute the drop in quality to conde Nast or just a general trend in websites getting more popular (e.g. Reddit), but I think it's there.
Edit: missing the last sentence
- Simulacra 9y agoI recently let my Wired subscription of 13 years lapse because of the politics. Wired use to be about the intersection between tech and society. Now it's bloated with advertising, extremely light on substantive content, and has become way too political.
- AznHisoka 9y agoGizmodo is the same thing imo. Way too political and too much side commentary
