Aol Is Restructuring, Layoffs and Site Closures Likely

Interesting that Techcrunch mentions traffic percentage drops of other AOL owned properties like Huffington Post and PawNation, but carefully leaves itself out of that particular paragraph. I honestly can't recall the last time I saw a Techcrunch article shared on my LinkedIn or Facebook feed, it feels like TheVerge has done a better job at taking the tech mantle (but that is just my opinion), maybe the people I know just prefer sites like TheVerge instead.

I think Techcrunch needs a little bit of a shake-up to be quite honest. The quality of the articles have been very sub-par for a very long time. I am surprised Shingy hasn't had one of his "brain farts", yelled gibberish for 20 minutes like he usually does and save AOL.

The verge is now more of a culture site than a tech site, they've really embraced the "culture culture" aspect of their motto. Often their tech articles are left wanting while having too many movies and tv shows articles.

I've found that arstech or anandtech offer a lot more with less whining.

I've lost all faith in The Verge after seeing junk about apps like Slack being down, therefore causing the "editors" to not know what to do with themselves. Great journalism.
