> But the coercion involved It sets an alarming precedent about how

This is supposed to be two sentences, or remove the "It" from the middle of the sentence.

How is it obvious grammatical and spelling errors make their way into these articles (and seemingly more common now-days)?

These are professional writers, with professional editing staff - however it often feels the article is a first-draft written in one go and then published with zero review.

It's not just TechCrunch, but a lot of tech press (there's a bias to my observation because I read predominately tech press).

It makes it feel as-if the general quality of journalism is declining.

How much did you pay for a newspaper subscription thirty years ago? How much did you pay to read this article?

The quality of journalism is declining, because the money is disappearing. News providers are producing more and more content for less and less money. The only way they can do that is by cutting corners.


That's hardly true. Have you seen how many ads are on most of these sites now? (and no, I don't ad-block).

I'd wager my $0.10-$0.25 cent newspaper subscription is easily covered after clicking around a few pages on one of these sites.
