I used to love The Register, but I sadly haven't seen a good article from them in many years.
Everything that I've seen is clickbait bad opinion or just outright wrong.
I now assume anything from them is rubbish and don't even waste my time clicking the link, which is a very sad state for them.
- kibibu 2y agoIt's plausible that it's always been like this and you've educated yourself out of their target audience
- ggm 2y agoIt isn't exactly the same, but this reminded me of Gell-Mann amnesia. A lot of comments about how people maintain faith in the news, despite seeing their own field of expertise misrepresented have this effect on me. It's quite well understood by now we critique hardest where we know most and then make sweeping assumptions to correctness in the areas we know least, when reading the views of others. My main problem with the reg, is the semi-cult-y nature of the community around dialect of british english and related humour.
