End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell

I was assuming this was a retirement announcement from the editor.

Sadly, not the case. The site has ceased publication as of this story, though content and the forum will remain up for an indeterminate amount of time.

It launched in 1997, the same year I wrote my first HTML, having started college and suddenly having access to hosting.

It sucks to see a pub that has adhered to its goals for the most part (we all make mistakes) for 27 years get shut down by a corporate owner.

This is tragic. I can’t think of how many computers I built using incomparable Anandtech articles. The depth of the testing, and careful, scientific planning really has no match in tech journalism.

The high water mark just lowered.

Man, AnandTech came from the earlier type of Internet, where independent media outlets were fully in control of their own presence on the web. (E.g. they were not a YouTube channel.) Even though they weren't still independent for a while now (purchased by a publishing company in 2014), I'm sad to see one of the originals go.

Techreport is another one I used to read all the time, but it got bought out and is a shambling corpse of it’s former self.
