The whole point of some of their articles was to go into the more esoteric technical details rather than gloss over them like some other sites. So in that aspect you are correct: it wasn’t for “the average joe”. However, for some people it was what they wanted.

That attention to technical detail and knowledge is why people like Der8auer have an audience today and people respect his opinion.

Have you ever wondered whether these long form articles give you ANY substantial knowledge or only the illusion that you gained something...

Yes, because they provide information I specifically want to know.

Der8auer doesn't cover CPU architecture hardly at all. He mostly just does overlooking, which is orthogonal.
