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.

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