> The unique articles about startups are gone - replaced by a repackaging of press releases, the optimistic tone of supporting entrepreneurs has been replaced by the cynicism of writers that dislike the companies/technologies/founders they write about, etc.

You nailed it. That's exactly what it is!

Basically wokified PR Newswire and the few startup articles that do exist are boring and written by people who seem to really dislike the very subject of their articles.
