No discussion of tech media can get past this basic traffic fact:Β in the AI world, Google and social no longer refer traffic, which means that the vast majority of readers just never find you in the first place. Analysis: growtika.com/blog/tech-media…

Thats because Tech Media and sites like @verge leaned to far into politics and created a M.O. to pour cold water over anything positive in the world. Imagine a tech enthusiast site who's mission became to extinguish enthusiasm in tech?

This has nothing to do with what's going on, and you are the one interjecting politics into the conversation. Rtings just went full subscription, and it wasn't politics. Maybe talk to people who actually run sites instead of reading them.

I stopped visiting Theverge aftr their sharp turn into the far left and turning into politics. Mocking everything Elon Musk does killed their credibility for me , I don't care about politics I am here for the tech .
