Can I ask a stupid question?' I kind of did a Rip Van Winkle and stopped reading Techcrunch for eight years. Back in the day I would email Alexia and she would take the story tip and write a cool article. Is TC 100% pay to play nowadays? I know so many people who submit press releases to them and they get auto-deleted. What gives?



I don’t know much about their readership numbers but I stopped reading them as well roughly 8 or so years ago. Maybe their readership broadened and even increased?


It's still good but it seems more like focusing on publicly traded companies. I'm not bashing them, I just don't see the "weird Internet" or "weird startup" content anymore. But then Quibi ships and you see nothing but Quibi for a few days. It's just not how I remembered TC.
