It seems like techdirt articles have been ranking higher on HN lately as the claims in their articles get wilder. It's like watching a million years of evolution in two weeks (except the evolution is 'audience capture' https://gurwinder.substack.com/p/the-perils-of-audience-capture https://gurwinder.substack.com/p/the-perils-of-audience-capt...)
- kbelder 4y agoI used to read Techdirt weekly or more often, but they've really gone off the rails over the last several years. Wilder claims, more politically slanted, and more generally angry, unpleasant, and untrustworthy. Might be due to the original owner bringing in others to generate more content, or maybe they just found that loud shrieking gets more engagement.
