I haven't read a article via pando in a while. Why is that? Am I just missing content?

Because they're about 99% snark. They have such a hard-on for Zappos and Uber it's really tiresome. They may have some actual journalism now but their burn rate prolly ain't too good.

If you read the statement up there, looks like Pando is veering back toward longform and (even further) away from news. They'll still no doubt be all over the techie geek culture stuff most of the time but I'm hoping for better things.

You and I both.

I was reading an example above. It seemed to be written for dudebros with a really high tolerance for design triumphing over readability.

Sorry, not going to read anyone's 18pt italic text when it's pale grey against white.

Yeah, what kleinbl00 said. It's mostly technocrap but I still read the foreign affairs stuff.
