As with anything that becomes popular, TechCrunch gets a lot of hate in the tech industry. I scan through its feed almost daily, mostly digesting just the headlines.
I find value and entertainment in its long-form, insightful content (typically written by guest writers like Nir Eyal, Semil Shah, etc.), funding announcements (knowing what's funded matters), and even its link-bait, sensational articles. I don't think TechCrunch is trying or should be THE source for deep analysis or discussion. There are other sources for that (e.g. Quibb, Quora, individual personal blogs like Joel Gasconigne)... and that's OK.
