@arstechnica
Why did it take this long?

CNET has been practically useless for longer than 15 years. Ever noticed their product reviews are merely product specifications?
Most of their articles were not even originals.
Their podcasts were hosted by people who didn’t understand science and technology.

CNET had been churning out useless articles for years. They get even lazier by using computer automated services to generate articles.

@arstechnica those articles are separate legal entities

@arstechnica i was actually watching it while it happened. (Lurking, as you fellows call it.)

I'm still pissed about the fall from grace CNET had these past few years. If only someone better bought them (i.e. literally anybody but Red Ventures)
