Last time I visited Tom Shardware it felt like the whole thing is basically an ad. Is the content still any good? I recall back when it was the go-to.
That and the shuttering of Anandtech sucks.
We got used to consume digital content for free but on the other side we don’t love ads…
Ad networks give pennies to publishers, and to get high spending direct advertiser is almost impossible.
Not everybody is capable to develop a long-term feasible digital strategy eg as NYT.
