That means looking at more editorial type content, and opinion pieces, not just press release from company x about how great new gadget / acquisition / ipo is.
I could do without any news whatever about acquisitions and IPOs here. I'm not an MBA or a greedster or a banker, I'm a NERD. I don't give a damn who owns what company. All I care about when it comes to companies is what cool new tech do you have, and how does it work?
If you hold an MBA, you're probably not a nerd.

Well, if a company providing a product you like goes IPO or is sold, you should be concerned. Because it often means that now the MBAs will take over, and your beloved product may turn into a big steaming pile of beta.

True. On the other hand, I'm probably likely to be interested in just about anything Elon Musk or one of his companies is doing. You wanna talk about a guy that "gets it" on a nerd level...
