      They own a shit ton of media and I’ve never seen a positive improvement after they took something over.

        None of these companies want to improve anything other than quarterly profits and will take whatever shitty action to get there

          Yeah, the big tipoff that Conde owns a website is they post a lot of “great deals for ____!” posts.

          Because they all use affiliate links.

          And a lot less actual reviews of products because those have to be written. So you end up with a giant page full of links to a 100 products with maybe a sentence for each link.

            News companies switched to affiliate links from ads. Even The New York Times made the switch. Google, Facebook, and Craigslist are their lunch.
