Up to a point Ars does what it takes to generate clicks. I can't tell if they post more nakedly political content now then they used to but whenever I see that sort of thing on the site it depresses me.
Like a picture of scantily glad woman on a link (Will you see more if you click it? Who knows but there's one way to find out for sure ... ) the end result if it delivers or not is a vague feeling of being manipulated. That the editors think less of me then I'd like.
But who knows, certainly the political stuff on it usually doesn't appeal to my politics so maybe it's just unhappiness that they don't share my views.
