Have you ever read The Register? Its been this way as long as I can remember (1999?). I consider it more of a cheeky, poking-fun style rather than it being inflammatory. They've always created an air of not taking IT/Technology too seriously.

Take this job listing for example: https://www.theregister.com/Page/devoops.html

1. DevOops.html

2. Titled: "Vultures seeking penguin-tamer"

I feel like the fact that The Register has been the Internet home of the Bastard Operator From Hell stories (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_Operator_From_Hell) since 2000 really sums up its attitude. It is tech news by and for BOFHs.
