I can't help but feel that TC has become the ebaumsworld of tech blog. Nothing interesting, intellectual, relevant; just grab whatever you find on the internet, copy paste 90% of the contents and BAM you have a blog post.
I think TC suffers from the same disease as Gizmodo, where the "authors" are encouraged to do whatever they want as long as it brings in traffic. They get bonus on traffic, who cares if its silly even for high-school standard.
- jkincaid 16y agoThis is totally false. We don't get a bonus based on traffic, and we never have (and hopefully never will).
- erlanger 16y agoBut give them credit, they're all set to release this revolutionary e-book reader. They, erm, walk the walk.
- dzlobin 16y agoYou call out TC for adding nothing interesting or relevant, and go ahead to say the same thing that 12 other people say at every TC post on HN. As well as adding a false statement about their process. We get it, a lot of people don't like TC.
- tcdent 16y agoYes, Linking the TechCrunch article here was unnecessary. Saying they are unnecessary, though? People follow them because of the stories they bring in, wether interesting commentary was added or not. How else would someone who doesn't read the Woot blog on a regular basis find out about this?
