Most journalism is pretty bad now - if you know about tech, you're just going to notice it more.
Everyone hopped onto ad blockers, and ads were how most online publications made money. Many have tried to switch to subscription, but few successfully, and most people side step that. Journalists are going to work for free, so now publications trip to get the most articles out of the fewest writers, and it's all going to shit.
Rightfully so.
A banner ad here or there, and people could put up with that. But limitless greed kicked in and these companies would bury ads in the article, ones that pop up over the article and everywhere in between. And on mobile it is 10x worse where the formating is an absolute mess and ads take priority over any actual real content.
