Most publications accept money from companies that wish to sway public opinions. Just as purely political sites sway back and forth so do all the tech publications. Same reason many movies have gone down the drain yet the same crap is being churned out even when movie producers are losing money for allowing external manipulation that offers no artistic value.

I think it would be a fun experiment to have a uBlock Origin section for sites that accept money for paid slants. One click could silence much if not most of the internet.
