Your revised theory is that Ars is actually a Condé company because of the logo in the footer? Not sure that’s how corporate law works.

Take a minute and do some research. Advance owns Ars and the terms of the acquisition allow it to have total independence.

But again, I recommend you contact the Ars editors directly and share your theory that the Condé logo at the bottom of the page proves that they are in fact Condé stooges and have no editorial independence. See what they say. Their DMs are open.
