That content has been going downhill for a while... i mean some posts from the past few days:

Sunday - a story on using 40k (!) Delta Miles for domestic reward tickets
Saturday - Ad for the Brooklyn Reality Tour, lifted word for word from the FT post
Friday - list of 10 destinations his daughter wants to go to
Thrusday - boasting that he's a Credit Sesame "Guru" ... oh btw, he gets referrals if you sign up for their monthly service

back in the day, his site was literally the first thing i checked online in the morning. i guess it just doesn't speak to me much anymore
