It is weird to see Techcrunch faking the Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg with GAAP, "Street" and earnings per share expressions. Really not what I expect from TC... I can't help but think that good old days when TC used to explore new ideas and technologies are gone. Today almost all their writers just post update about a funding round, a developer conference or a new product feature. I wish I could get more in-depth articles about major topics like open AI, future telco/messaging networks, etc.

>I can't help but think that good old days when TC

I honestly can't remember what the "good old days" of TC even looked like. MG Siegler writing fawning pieces about Apple? The latest Arrington drama?

I came for the comment section. When they integrated Facebook, I never went back.

Maybe they're trying to edge out the Journal for this kind of news. If I recall Bloomberg and the Journal both have some kind of pay wall up, which at least has kept me from using them.
