It’s not the only thing, but it’s the mostly thing.

Looking at their front page right now, over half the articles are buzzfeed-quality rubbish:

-“America Has Decided That Homeless People Aren't People”

-“5 Experts Tell us What They Think a Healthy Relationship Looks Like”

-“This Week's Coolest Drops, From Hoka to 'Seinfeld' x Percival”

-“Russia Wants to Build a MAGA Colony for US Conservatives, Lawyer Claims”

-“THIS WEEK ONLINE – Who's Afraid of the Proletariat?” -“I Went to a BDSM Convention With My Ex”

They still have some original reporting, but I stopped going to them years ago because I don’t want to filter through dreck, and certainly aren’t signing up for their updates, in order to watch for decent items.

It does seem like hipster stuff and I don’t understand who would want to consistently read this and who their target market is.

They seem to hire lots of people to write this stuff and are looking to be a “lifestyle news” brand but who wants to be into their nihilistic, negative lifestyle?
