As a longtime reader, I remember their heyday 20 years ago when they had all kind of regular columns, in-depth analysis, correspondents embedding themselves in scenes and at shows.
Slowly the content began to get crappier in various ways, until about a year ago Conde Nast fired everyone but a couple of reviewers. And so the site only publishes a handful of reviews a week, and all the rest of the content is reposts from newswire-type sources and TMZ.
Now it seems they've just given up on producing content in general, hoping they can farm out the missing content to social-media types to create for free. It can never, ever, ever match what was lost. It's just going to be another YouTube comments section.
