Their comment section since last year has devolved into Reddit style one-liners (especially political articles). The articles are really average these days.
The one I'm really worried about is Anandtech, the articles are still excellent but they're so understaffed(A10 chip deep dive was canceled, behind on Mac reviews)
- sureste 9y agoYes. Ars Technica has changed. I do find their articles are not as good as they used to be. Although, articles from Peter Bright and Kyle Orland are still high quality. I like their occasional (weekly?) articles on board games. I do not like their movies/series articles that much. Mixed bag on their Cars Technica stuff. However, I find there's too many articles which are only tangentially related to tech or science. Example: the story of the woman that shot her boyfriend while recording a video for their Youtube channel. Your observation about their comment section is spot on. Comments beyond page 1 are buried.
- MadSax 9y agoArs is far too political I think and they're very lopsided.
