What a bunch of endless drivel. Don’t they have editors at The Atlantic? Given the amount of material, this article should’ve been no longer than one page.

What a bunch of endless drivel. Don’t they have editors at The Atlantic? Given the amount of material, this article should’ve been no longer than one page.
- coldtea 13y agoNot that many. Do you know what their margins are? It surprises me that people still talk and demand editors and proof-readers in an era where articles are paid 1/5 (or less) of what they were 10-20 years ago, and news outless are crumbling down tiny advertising revenues... It's like going to a $10 buffet diner in the interstate, and expecting Morton's level steaks... Seriously, in this day and age, it's like expecting some death-march software project, done with impossible deadlines and shortcutes by low paid programmers, to not have any bugs...
- nether 13y agoIt's pandering. The last Atlantic article on the HN frontpage was focused on nerdy males, so is this one.
