The recurring theme of the World Wide Web slowly and gradually "dying" as we know it at least is important because the media itself is not talking about it. But why should they talk?
When websites produce tech news that's 80% paid for stealth product placement, it's hard to blame them users of the web they visit. It's like they're posting about bots and not human beings.
These sites in some cases seem to work, and even go viral (names not mentioned or shown). This is probably where we should be concerned because this means that the average user doesn't realize what's being swept under the rug.
The thousands of pages that contained real technological news and not directed have been closed or simply continue to "stand" on the web without being updated.
We won't talk about the tech news they contain, because they are outdated, but there are millions of opinions on building and maintaining a free internet, hacks from the beginning of the internet, with technological explanations, security papers and a bunch of other stuff that Google doesn't care to highlight it.

SEO and its engines upload and download pages, obediently obeying Google's algorithms.
So we see tech news without a soul, with hidden advertising messages or tech news that follows trends, and of course they follow the regulations for a perfect SEO to the letter. For example when the trends say Apple, everyone will write about the company even if they have nothing to write, or even if they have already exhausted the topic.
Probably 5 years from now there will be very little real tech news (rather than driven) on the web.
The replacement of journalists or people who breathe with it technology, with the chatbot coming if it hasn't already in some cases. The readership doesn't seem to be looking for alternatives. They are comfortable with the social networks they hold well, and few of them surf in search of something new and noteworthy.
