I don't know much about SEO or content pruning, so I make no judgment on the conclusion of this article.

What I can say is that this is genuinely one of the worst-written pieces I've ever read. Nowhere does the author provide any sort of argument for their conclusion. At no point during that long, rambling rant did the author give a single reason why we should agree with them, nor did they propose alternative solutions to the problem that CNET is facing.

If this were written for a high-school english class it would receive a failing grade.

By any chance, did you stop reading at the transition that looks awfully like the beginning of an ad box or some sort of call to action for whatever they’re presumably selling? The article actually continues and somewhat substantiates it’s argument, but I agree if you read only what appears to be the main body of the article, there’s very little there.

The whole thing isn’t terrific either, but the page layout further detracts.

It also displays a hilarious real live instance of the metaforgotten trope.
