I cancelled my Wired subscription a year ago. They were a reputable tech news source at one point but now it's all contemporary culture war nonsense.

- trav4225 4y agoI thought they were pretty useful until roughly the mid-'90s. They seemed to go into full hype mode at that point, IIRC... I cancelled my sub around that time.

- trav4225 4y agoYup. They were only interesting to me for 2-3 years. :-)
- smitty1e 4y agoIt was kinda hip the first several years, back in the 90s. I remember that epic Neal Stephenson piece about transatlantic cables: https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/ https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/
- cft 4y agoNot sure about their call to action from this hit piece? Make Disney terminate their contract with the alleged 4chan stakeholder? It looks like 4chan has been deplatformed by Revcontent a while back, so they are hoping to stifle it?
