It never fails to amaze me how transparent THEY are.

What do they mean Newhouse? What is the significance of that name?

If we think back to the Rules For Radicals dedication THEY tell us it is dedicated to Lucifer, the original radical who rebelled and gained his own kingdom.

New house = Satan, Old House = The Kingdom of God.

Advance Publications, a privately owned company founded and run by the Newhouse family.

Because just like legacy media before it, most of the internet has been consolidated under a handful of companies.

Because they pay large development companies to make a site for them and those companies use the same "theme" for every site.

Reduces development and increases profits.

Not a very diverse executive team. I'm disappointed in the poor implementation of the progressive ideals. Just another cog in the white patriarchal machine. Very Sad!

I remember when Ars Technica was the worlds best tech website. Then Condé Nast bought it. This was a long time ago.

At the time, I did not understand. How could new owners ruin the site? It just means a different set of rich people in suits at the helm right?

Why was I enjoying the content less? Why was the community turning sour? Why am I no longer looking forward to spending time there?

So I abandoned Ars for Reddit. Again, this was forever ago. Reddit was pretty vibrant. But then the same thing happened to Reddit, but even more dramatically. Because of the same people.

Ars Technica had a permanent place in my RSS feeds for many years. They were a bright example of publication able to reach into complicated legal, political, and technical areas and break it down in informative way.

Then over the years they became spitting image of Verizon's 'Sugarstring' project. Stuffed in needless 'diversity' focus to run fluff culture stories. And hired pedophiles.

They're no longer in the RSS feed.

When you get to the end, Canaanite phoenecians who have been tearing down societies for thousands of years.

AKA Moloch worshipers. They ran Carthage as well, openly dominating Mediterranean trade before the Romans crushed them. Plutarch and others wrote about their child sacrifice, paralleling what the Old Testament said about the Canaanites.
