I've started subscribing Wired in 2011 and I pretty much liked it for couple of years. For me it seems once Conde Nast purchased the magazine the quality has dropped.

Wired had an unsuccessful IPO attempt in 1996. Condé Nast bought the print magazine in 1998. Lycos owned the digital properties until 2006 when they were sold back to CN.
