Loyalty Traveler changes

Does anyone know what has happened to the Loyalty Traveler blog?

Seems like there has been a shift from a 10 year+ focus on creative budget travel bookings to very frequent posts on rather ordinary airfare deals from SF Bay Area.

Has Ric addressed this new direction in any post? What is the motivation for these abrupt changes.

I understand the need to monetize his site. But his various trip reports were always a treat and I thought he brought a unique voice to BA. I don't understand the attempt to compete with Flight Deal and other blogs.

I worry that too much volume may cause people to drop the blog entirely. Will the massive increase in lower quality posts hurt Loyalty Traveler?
