They all seem to be: <li>Ads</li><li>Reprint quotes from rich people with no validation or verification</li><li>Reply guys</li><li>Ads</li><li>"Opinion" pieces</li><li>Reprints from other sources</li><li>Ads</li><li>Billionaire buy-outs to kill the platform</li><li>Ads</li>
Even the local stuff generally doesn't have any investigative aspects anymore.
