I unsubscribed from Mashable a year ago for two reasons that infuriated me: 1) Posts from one author who constantly insulted readers by calling them idiots if they didn't side with him regarding his politics (in any case, the posts were usually only tangentially related to technology). 2) Posting lists like "The top 10 ways to do XXXXXX online," often forgetting the most important and useful sites for the purpose. They never go back and update their lists based on user feedback, even if hundreds of people point out obvious mistakes or omissions. Of course they are welcome to choose whom to put on their lists, but it seems that they just pick 10 rather carelessly to get the post out as soon as possible. TC may have an acerbic vibe, but they seem to direct it at companies and other sites, not their readers.
