Nah. There were a few print magazines with some integrity, but there are still some websites with integrity. The really popular stuff has always been PR though. You just had lower standards as a kid.

Video game journalism has always just been third party PR, but journalists almost all absolutely love Fromsoft games. It's user reviews that complain about them being too hard.
Of course, by "call out" they mean sort of vaguely point out that they exist without actually saying anything meaningful, and that will still somehow be too political for the "gamers".
Who said anything about giving things away? You just made that up. What, you think immigrants are stealing your jobs and also not paying rent? That's not how thing work in the real world. The only people getting your stuff are the prisons full of innocent people who just wanted a chance at a better life.
Remember, if you want to let other people move, it also automatically gives them the legal right to steal your house and leave you homeless. That's why I'm living under a bridge while a family from Mississippi has taken my house. Its okay though. They were born on the plot of dirt between Canada and Mexico, so really that means they're defending my freedom by stealing my house.
Do not take dietary advice from randos on the internet, yes, but also unless it's in relation to a medical condition or you are talking to a professional nutritionist don't take dietary advice from your doctor either. Med school teaches basically nothing about nutrition, and it's pretty sad how often you can figure out when a doctor went to med school by which fad diet they recommend.
Authoritarianism is all about concentrating power around fewer people. That what authoritarianism IS. Giving more power to the least powerful people is always anti-authoritarian. Yes, there are always trade-offs, no they're not always as obvious as this one, but more power to more people is never authoritarian.
The short simple version is that if galaxies happen to be close enough to each other they fall toward each other faster than the space between them expands. That's what "gravitationally bound" means.
Those look like pretty thin slices. They might work. I'd also try it.
Fallout 4 kind of in a weird place where it's simultaneously a bad Fallout game and arguably the best Bethesda game. How much you like it really just depends on which of those things you're more into. I've personally never really gotten the appeal of Bethesda games. I usually end up spending 90% of my time going through my inventory analyzing the price to weight ratio of all the worthless junk I've accumulated, and the worlds have always just felt really shallow to me personally, but clearly I'm in the minority. I am sort of curious why more people seem to have agreed with me on Fallout 4 than on Skyrim though. I guess maybe it's just that the people who talk about it the most are more likely to be Fallout fans than Bethesda fans.
Until someone figures out a better way of doing it that's not a real answer. I'm not going to pay for every website that gets shared on every website I regularly visit. Even if I wanted to, I just don't have that kind of money.
I don't know how to fix this, but it is fundamentally broken.

Mainstream news was already starting to turn into ragebait in the 80s, and by the mid 90s there was no integrity left. Video games never had any standards. If you think that things were good back then that is just the proof that you had lower standards. It's okay. We all had lower standards as kids. That's perfectly normal. It's important to acknowledge it though.
