And Ars is still great!

I read Ars multiple times a week. It's not Pulitzer-winning stuff, but certainly more thoughtful than The Verge. Can someone help me understand why it's being panned as losing quality?

It has monthly page view quotas for writers, which changes what gets covered.

It laid off or lost most of its best tech policy writers, including Joe Mullin, Cyrus Farivar, David Kravets, and Timothy B Lee.

it really isn't. but to be fair, it got a lot worse many years after the acquisition (2008), so it's hard to be certain whose fault it was.

Press X for doubt

Ars used to have interesting articles about novel intersections between technology and the law. Now it’s like a Sharper Image catalogue.
