Publications, no not really. Pretty much all of them are the worst kind of 'life hack' stuff you can think of, with their barrier to entry often being non existent. It's pretty much why I stopped posting my work to said publications, since I realised their quality was falling so much that sites like Hacker News and Reddit had banned the publication's domain. That said, there are decent writers there. You just have to really know where to look, since the front page/newsletters/archives are a bloody smorgsaboard of reprinted mass media articles and pointless puff pieces from social media influencers. I definitely saw some interesting pieces of UX design and usability there, and obviously the latest Silicon Valley controversy will probably first come to light there too. So meaningful stuff exists, it's just heavily buried under tides of crap.
