r/apple on Reddit: I always thought MacRumors was slacking off compared to 9to5Mac, but this weekend leak really proves it
September 9, 2017 -
I usually go to MacRumors cause I like their site design better, but lately have been noticing how a lot of stories appear first on 9to5Mac. Especially if something happens on the weekend.
And now with the iOS 11 GM leak, it's all the more obvious. MacRumors did post about it today, but 9to5Mac is really going into the code and digging up extra tidbits and posting about them... (of course, these tidbits will conveniently appear on MacRumors within an hour, I'm sure...)

MacRumors never breaks rumors. They take the rumors everyone else breaks and give you the key points. That's why I read them. I don't need to read 1,000 words to know the leaked iOS 11 GM has new wallpapers. One sentence and a link to a zip file is fine. That's why I like MacRumors.

I still have to read both sites for news, as MacRumors covers things I'm interested in that 9to5Mac doesn't. But I definitely like 9To5Mac more and more.

I know it could be a little taboo to mention a MacRumor's competitor, but ironically, this particular competitor doesn't really give any good places to voice feedback. I've noticed lately in my Mac's RSS reeder that there have been no less than 20 (!!!) articles per day from 9to5Mac as of late... More on forums.macrumors.com
So long, 9to5 Mac
Yeah, I went a couple of days back on their website and I got the feeling it was more publicity than in past years. I feel most sites are going on that direction. Engadget or even reddit that has the first comment as an add. More on reddit.com
Macrumors has lost its way. Now just a tech bro gossiping tech blog. Anything Elon or Twitter they post on their front page. Shame
The clicks rule all. More on reddit.com
