I hate to break it to you, but The Guardian is now only a mere shadow of it's former self. The reporting has been going downhill for years and especially in anything tech-related, it's journalism can only be described as utterly clueless. It's been sad to watch.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
Old-world journalism in general has relied far too much on outside contractors, especially for technical subjects, who shop their articles around various outlets. It has dragged their reputation down because they no longer have an identity as a collection of like-minded journalists. Instead, it's the same collection among all of the news sources with varying levels of quality, mostly poor because they can't make it as real non-contracted journalists. They don't even report on the same subject all the time, just shifting around to whatever they want to talk about without understanding the subject matter at all.
Not exactly in this case, because this guy is an in-house "media editor" who has no clue what he's talking about, but generally speaking.
Who's gonna tell 'em?
Maybe the author has NEVER been human
Possibly to some extent it's a positive effect of UK's age verification requirements? Reddit overnight went from the most porn-accessible social media to the least, for minors.
Redditors were never human.
