    It’s one of the stages of enshittification. Unless we see hard changes to avoid further decay, Ars will inevitably get worse and and worse until it does become an “internet rot site.”

      My point still stands.

      You can argue that EVERY fucking thing in the world is in the beginning , mid, or late stages of enshittification.

      But calling Ars an internet rot site, at this stage, is just fucking stupid.

      Are they as good as they were a few years ago? I honestly can’t say. I do know that there was better news a few years ago.

      The people at Ars have a tough job trying to navigate this modern world of oligarchs and autocracy, keeping their identity, while being owned by a corporation whose only job is to make money.

      They’ve done a pretty good fucking job, all things considered, of staying their course.

      A much better job than internet assholes who want to act elitist and whine when the world falls apart around them while they blame their fellow class instead of the controlling class.

        They are failing at basic editorial controls. This is not a “pretty good fucking job.” It is a sign of real decline.

          Right.

          And what do you know about editorial controls or how journalism has worked in the last 20 years?

          Wake up. The decline has already happened. It’s now a game of compromise.

          You want to complain and whine like these guys are sitting on a beach, sipping mai thais, while telling their AI agents to write an article.

          It’s ignorant and inflammatory. Just makes y’all look petulant.
