A Month In… and Reality Hits Hard
When we took over TechInform a little over a month ago, we were pumped. New ideas, fresh energy, a clean slate — the works. But now that I’ve had some time to really live in it, I’m starting to see why this site struggled before.
Here’s the brutal truth: Tech news kinda sucks.
Not the tech itself — that part is still exciting. It’s the daily grind of “news” that feels more like a hamster wheel of half-relevant, politically charged filler than anything real. And honestly? It’s been a wake-up call.
What’s Supposed to Be Tech News… Isn’t
Spend five minutes on most major tech sites right now and you’ll see what I mean.
Just today, the featured story on The Verge is titled:
“Brendan Carr’s FCC is an anti-consumer, rights-trampling harassment machine”
Meanwhile over at Wired, the lead is:
“Donald Trump Is Already Ruining Christmas” — about tariffs, technically, but yeah.
And it’s not just them.
CNET — which used to be the most “safe” tech site out there — has an entire section on their homepage dedicated to the U.S. tariff situation.
Look, I get it. Tariffs affect tech prices. There’s some relevance. But at its core, a lot of these posts are political hit pieces — spun through a slightly tech-flavored lens.
And to be super clear: I’m not saying I agree or disagree with any of the takes.
I’m just being honest about what’s happening.
And more importantly, about what I don’t want TechInform to become.
How We’re Changing TechInform (Starting Now)
This is all still a work in progress — an experiment — and things will change again. We’re figuring it out as we go.
But for now, here’s the new game plan:
1. No More “Post Every Day” Pressure
If there’s no real news, I’m not posting. Simple.
Weekends especially — unless something major drops, don’t expect filler just to check a box.
2. Post Volume = Actual News Volume
Some days might have five posts. Some days might have one. Some days might have none.
It all depends on what’s actually happening — not an artificial quota.
3. Only Covering What Actually Interests Us
If I don’t care about it? We’re not covering it.
If you want every tech story every day, there are bigger sites for that. Here, it’s a more curated, honest feed.
4. Stay Out of the Political Swamp
Here at TechInform, we’re going to report the truth.
If there’s a major objective, verifiable event that truly impacts tech? We’ll cover it.
But we’re staying out of the political mud-slinging unless it’s 100% necessary and 100% relevant.
5. More Original Content (Finally)
We’ve got several podcasts in the works (seriously, they’re sounding great) and we’ll have updates soon.
Original projects are going to be a big part of our future — not just reposting the same headlines everyone else has.
Real-Life Impact: Feels Risky… But Right
Honestly, it feels weird to say, “yeah, we might not have a new post every day.”
In a world where sites are pumping out 30+ posts daily, it feels risky.
But you know what?
It feels better.
Better than pretending to care about things I don’t. Better than cluttering up your feed with junk.
Better than being part of the noise.
And I think (I hope) you’ll appreciate that too.
Trevor Score: 9/10 — Scary, but Soul-Saving
This isn’t a formal review — it’s just how I felt using this thing. A gut-check from someone who actually lived it.
Trevor Score: 9/10 — It’s scary to break from the standard formula, but it’s so much better for the soul. And for the site.
Final Verdict: We’re Choosing Real Over Routine
At the end of the day, we want TechInform to feel like a place you want to check out — not just another site pumping out the same tired headlines.
We’re betting that quality and honesty matter more than quantity.
This is an experiment. We’ll keep tweaking, improving, and learning as we go.
But we’re starting here, because this feels right.
Closing Line: Here’s to a Better TechInform
Thanks to everyone who’s stuck with us so far.
Here’s to building a smarter, sharper TechInform — one that actually respects your time and ours.
(And hey, at least you won’t have to read 12 different versions of the same tariff story.)
