Change of ownership maybe?

We should be so lucky!

Wired is owned by Condé Nast, a modern media oriented publisher of
magazines and web-sites. Basically, a lotta young hipster-types
glomming onto the next big thing (read consumer).

I quit patronizing Wired's website when some dolt got hacked and Wired
spent months speech-ifying and whining about it. It was an obvious
ploy to get online readers and I got tired of it. They also acquired
--and ruined!-- Ars Technica, which I also no longer patronize.
