Honestly the most disheartening about that company was the half-baked NVIDIA shilling[1], that was called right away by the whole technical community[2]. I wouldn't get on my high horses about that, it's commonplace nowadays that former commercial media outlets have become "infomercial" businesses, essentially marketing agencies disguised as news/information outlets. The primary drive being that consumers of media don't bring enough revenue, whereas announcers and brands do, often shadily in this "new media" environment (undisclosed sponsorships, etc). What you describe is, as I see it, just the rotten tip of Tom's iceberg. Like you — and I know it may be biased — I tend to "identify" potential "red flags" just this way: rotten website (technically, cue Js) probably means shady business behind, in my book. Otherwise, why would you disingenuously break UX like that? Forbes comes to mind as an offender, and so many other formerly big names of the press. Just gone, in spirit and content, as of this century. Worth noting afaik, Tom himself (the founder) sold and left a long time ago now (probably chilling on some tropical beach with his spouse and kids? I wish him so).
