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.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.
I quite enjoyed reading their in-depth tech coverage. Especially, in the early days when theyvcovered smartphones. There won't be a 2nd anandtech in history for a long time to come.
They should release their articles as a torrent to conserve the long history of anandtech.
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.
