I used to love HowToGeek, but I sadly see that now that's also enshittified (not the article you linked, but the most recent ones).

    Worse, if you go to their articles via their newsletter, it redirects to aws.me domain in the middle which uBlock Origin blocks. You need to manually allow that subdomain to let it run. Plus, they now and then nudge you to create a free account to read more articles.

    Oh, did I mention there is a Premium tier of their site as well? Ironical that as the site's editorial quality is coming down, the shittiness is increasing. I think originally one guy used to run it and write articles there. It was relatively frugal (compared to the churn of articles that they process today) and higher quality.

    Yes, I remember the guy writing there. That was a serious website! But maybe he sold it to somebody else before Google completely killed their search engine.

    Now, if you want to rank well on Google, you either have to churn out stupid articles filled with SEO junk every single day.
