I believe this post as well as what JDiver said a few posts up. The sad reality is that FT (and many of us) are an anachronism, and nobody cares what we think anymore.
Internet Brands gives us this little FT playground because they can still make some pennies on the intrusive ads that not all of us have blocked yet.
