Yes, I know it's always been a right-wing rag, but it used to be a lot more fun and interesting for stories about people I had actually heard of, royals, health stuff, and human-interest stories.
However, these days I find very little I want to click on. The royal coverage is all "Kate, saint who walks on water" and "Meghan, bad witch who should be burned at the stake." I also like Kate better than Meghan, but their coverage is a joke. The sycophancy over Kate is to such a degree that surely it must be written ironically.
I look at the home page and the sidebar, and 90 percent of the people named, I have never heard of.
The health stuff is all warnings about dire conditions that are really rare in the real world. It used to be useful information, but now it's just endless scaremongering. I see the headlines and I just roll my eyes.
The really interesting human-interest stories have gone. Now the stories are all about someone I've never heard of snubbing someone else I've never heard of on social media. Really inconsequential stuff.
My bar for mindless scrolling really isn't high, but the DM has managed to bore me into not really reading it anymore. I used to read many of their articles. Nowadays, i look at the front page still, but less, and don't find much I want to click on. I expect the next stage will be just not ever looking at it.
Also, much of it's behind a paywall with really misleading headlines to get you to sign up. There's no way I'm paying for that trash, so I use an archiving site, but often it doesn't work. And less and less can I be bothered to go through the process anyway.
If you used to enjoy the site, do you also find that it seems to have gone so downhill that it's almost as if they don't want readers anymore?
