I'll be happy to see anything here but TechCrunch links. The fkin TechCrunch links for god sake!

TechCrunch seems to fit within everyone's definition of on-topic here.

[neilk]

Not mine. News for hackers ought to be more than just industry linkbait. It ought to be somewhat above trends and hype.

[jonknee]

I didn't see baseless hype/analysis anywhere in the definition.

I'm curious to know why TechCrunch is not appreciated. Has it, in your opinion, become some sort of new "Startup Mainstream" that purveys a consensus that's become a bit separated from reality?

I find TechCrunch to be a good news source for its particular niche. But I don't always find news intellectually stimulating.

[orib]

Because it tends to be a linkbait machine, and generally doesn't seem to be intellectually stimulating, newsworthy, well researched, or well written.

So it has the same problems as a lot of the news, then?
