The front page, above the fold, of Ars for me right now has:
2 articles about Tesla (1 advertises another site),
A system buying guide,
Headphone review,
Electric car review
Its all product related. Below the fold I start to find something else, like the 'how to find a covid vaccine appointment' but that is from Wired. Ars really looks like more advertising than content to me. Kinda feeling like I aged out of Ars, I'm not the target market.
- leetcrew 6y agofor sure, I don't appreciate the sometimes breathless coverage of current events. but unless you object to the existence of buying guides entirely on a tech news site, I don't find much issue with them. it's less dry than similar articles on anandtech, but usually consistent with them and the other hardware review sites. it's definitely not like wirecutter, where I usually find myself scratching my head when I see the recommended product for a domain I'm actually familiar with.
