A long time ago (about a few months after the acquisition of techcrunch by AOL) i came to the conclusion that arrington is trying to get himself fired by AOL. I happen to show some techcrunch articles to a psychologist friend of mine because she was doing some research on the tech industry and she casually mentions that all the articles by "this arrington dude" sounds like a man who is trying to get himself fired. Note this is coming from a person who is reading techcrunch for the first time and does not follow the tech industry at all. After her comment, i did a filter on all arrington's articles and i understood what she was saying right away. All you need to do is just look at the general tone of his articles after he moves to Seattle. So the question is why. Is he trying to end his vesting period early and get a big payout? Or is he genuinely sick and tired of the press industry?
