I have been thinking the same thing for the past week. In fact, I clicked around the website to make sure that I was reading the same news I was reading when I first found this site (about a month ago.) I was impressed with the logically valid articles I was reading. Now it seems that the site is turning into another reddit or digg. Sometimes I am under the impression that users submit stories that are really clever ruses for pushing a product or service. It's also baffling why every page is 3/4 filled with articles about Google +. I guess the site takes on a form suitable to the majority of its users so I should not complain.
