Why does tech reporting seem so bad now? (lemmy.nowsci.com)

Is everyone just using AI and not proof reading? I see this a lot lately. Even Tom's Guide has bad editing, a good example is this article: https://www.tomsguide.com/news/pixel-8

Most notably, the display looks set to shrink from 6.3 inches to 5.8 inches

Then

The Pixel 8's screen is rumored to measure 6.17 inches, down from 6.31 inches.

It's like they're just grabbing from other articles and cramming together or adding content to old news now vs analyzing and forming opinions. With all the LMG drama lately, I had hoped written news would take note. Maybe I'm just too picky.

Bro the worst are when YouTubers like MKBHD and Mrwhosetheboss never talk about the privacy concerns of the gadgets they review. I usually ignore their videos these days as I find Louis Rossman videos more interesting.

    Sadly because they know their userbase doesn't give a shit about these things, and they don't either. Otherwise they'd bring this up with just about every single review. Their userbase is very simple people with money that want shiny new thing and are way too deep into consumerism

    Mrwhosetheboss is fully gone to being a paid for advertiser and nothing else.

    His content is for kids who don't know and will buy what he peddles and it feels like he should technically be breaking some UK advertising laws but we don't hold rules to much importance for people making money.
