Did any of these outfits actually produce quality tech journalism? In my mind CNET and the like were all marketing pieces about the next smart TV. I do use Tom's Hardware when I'm shopping for PC parts because they seem to do a good job with their benchmarking. The all-time great hard tech news site was Anandtech, and that's been gone for years.

A lot of sites just end up being SEO crap like "The Top 10 Smart Lampshades of 2026" and it's just listing specs and giving an amazon affiliate link.

Scary. But thats change I guess. We owe it to ourselves to stay on top of how this all works, be informed citizens in this new tech plutocracy
