One thing to be aware of is they steal blog content. So a lot of the time when you see something on there, it’s not written by them nor is it even vetted by them, it’s just harvested and reformatted. So a lot of the really stuff on the site is actually no more credible than any other random place you’d find it.

OP – You need to elaborate on the question a bit if you want a useful answer, but I have worked with many of the editors on the UK edition and they are no more or less credible than any other mainstream online hacks.

I read that too. It’s not the sort of material you can “fact check” in the old fashioned sense – so it’s more down to the credibility of the writer.

Pretty much what I thought. Thanks
