Remember the old days when people paid for news?

Ars is owned by Conde Nast, which had to let go of its HQ in 2024. I suspect they don't have a plan to replace a journalist like Benj if they axe him. And it's not like readers are going to hold them accountable.

I was puzzled by your claim that Condé Nast was forced to vacate its headquarters last year. After some Googling, it seems you are referring to their English offices. Condé Nast is still headquartered at One World Trade as it has been since 2014, and is still owned by the Staten Island-based Advance Publications as it has been since 1959.
