No, they weren't.
I thought they were pretty useful until roughly the mid-'90s. They seemed to go into full hype mode at that point, IIRC... I cancelled my sub around that time.

Wired was founded in the mid-1990s. (First issue was March/April '93).
Yup. They were only interesting to me for 2-3 years. :-)
It was kinda hip the first several years, back in the 90s. I remember that epic Neal Stephenson piece about transatlantic cables: https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/
Not sure about their call to action from this hit piece? Make Disney terminate their contract with the alleged 4chan stakeholder? It looks like 4chan has been deplatformed by Revcontent a while back, so they are hoping to stifle it?
