What is going on here? And what is Wirecutter union? Also, is anyone else frustrated that Wirecutter went behind a paywall? I thought that the whole point was that they made their money off of affiliate marketing. I was happy to buy things through Wirecutter because they gave great advice and hey, I was going to buy it anyway. But the paywall thing I just do not get. I'm not buying things through the Wirecutter anymore and I don't recommend it either. I'm in tech and so of course random people ask me "which doodad should I buy?" Frequently. My answer used to be "Just get whatever the Wirecutter says, that's what I do." Now no more. It's even more stupid because I have a NYT subscription! But that's not enough?!

Clearly the suits and spreadsheet jockeys are now in charge.

You know the drill. The people who started it and cashed out will wait a couple years to ride out some kind of non compete, and then start a new site that’ll solve all the problems wirecutter had.
