2019-2020 (after all the staff was laid off): Linux.com acting as a SPAM site or a PR dumping ground for sponsors. This means that proprietary software is routinely being promoted under the cherished "Linux" brand (without approval from the venerable trademark holder).
From their very own marketing material (this is what they've reduced Linux.com to):
Last night (it's still going on):
Summary: As per the Linux Foundation's very own brochure, scripted and fake 'interviews' are to be produced and then edited/negotiated (before publication) with the sponsor... in Linux.com as the platform. This is corruption (or marketing, one might call them de facto ads presented as fake 'articles').
