Ars literally copy pasted the reddit thread, the quality of writing is almost blogspam at this point. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ckaiiv/a

  Not gonna lie, ars seems like one really bad echo chamber. The content is usually mostly advertisement and the comments always circle around the same circlejerks.

  So what? My RSS subscriptions don't include random subreddits, but they do include Ars Technica, so their reporting absolutely provided value to me. It is literally the job description of journalists to sift through noise and filter out the signal so I don't have to do it myself. (Having said that, it probably would have been sufficient to write a way shorter article that just points readers to the Reddit post instead of copy-pasting it. But I suppose that some corporate overlord won't let them do that.) (And it would also have been more appropriate for this HN submission to link to the Reddit post directly.)
