"... I'm a tad sad seeing Techcrunch.com and ValleyInsider.com on the top 10 submitted urls ..."

A function of TC being seen as a leading VC/Startup news source and user submissions to extra points?

Is TechCrunch a leading VC/Startup news source? I'm not trying to be a smartass. It always seemed like tabloid trash to me. The articles are poorly researched, poorly written and often consist of almost nothing of substance once you get beyond an attention-grabbing headline. I would imagine that's a consequence of the often misleading or, at worst, incorrect articles they have a tendency to publish. As far as I'm concerned they have zero credibility.

I consider techchrunch as tabloid trash. HN is meant for nice informative articles and threads. But sadly now, the quality has gone down.

I'm not saying TC is a good news source, simply noting that it's consistently lists high on posters & voters minds. TC is closer to 'The register' than I'd like.
