News that doesn't appeal to you isn't worthless news. How is an XBL update, key functionality to the DSi, and new releases on online channels worthless?

I use sweeping words, 'worthless' is obviously an exaggeration. That was unfortunate.

But I am sure you understand what I mean though, that news have different magnitudes.

I definitely agree with you on that news has different maginitudes, but that's the same with all news. Obviously not even news articles is going to be uber important, but you still need give the site to post news for everybody.

 

I also agree with you that standards for news articles need to be defined more so in stone.

It really is striking to go from a well-written article by TheSource (what's-his-name...) to a 2 sentence article with a couple pictures.  It's not just a drop in quality, it's quality jumping off a cliff... into the ocean... drowning... and being eaten by sea monsters while the reader goes "O.o"

Well, what do you expect? The Source is an analyst, he does analysis articles. We post general news about things we either receive from publishers or see in the internet. It's not the same. That's why our articles are in "General News" and Source's usually go into Sales. And besides, every news site does that. While I agree maybe a better sorting of news could improve the site, the articles are getting views, which means somebody is interested in them. And in the end, that's what matters, and that's why we keep doing them
