Sadly, many of gHacks’ most valuable former readers/commenters seem to have abandoned the site entirely. My approach is to pay attention to bylines and skip articles by authors I’ve learned not to respect or trust. Again, we don’t know how much editorial control Martin now has, and for all we know the new contributors were foisted on him by Softonic. One has been publishing articles that are more or less okay, if sometimes not particularly groundbreaking, and the other … let’s just say I strongly suspect his articles are generated by ChatGPT with a view to shilling for certain 800-pound gorillas like Microsoft. Much more recently, two new contributors appeared. I don’t know how much editorial control Martin retained, or for how long, but sometime later, I believe, a new contributor, Ashwin, appeared and he has published generally worthwhile articles. That apparently wasn’t enough, and in 2019 he sold site ownership to Softonic, a Spanish web portal / software hosting service. That’s when he began offering sponsored deals that presumably gave him a cut of the action - as many other sites had been doing for *quite some time*. He had to raise more revenue to keep the site viable. This put Martin, then the site owner, in a bind. I seem to recall that at one point, Google dramatically cut how much ad revenue it shared with sites (at least with smaller ones, in possible violation of the Robinson-Patman Act, as if anyone in government still cared).
