That website has always been like this. They occasionally publish articles and I sometimes visit them for curiosity but more often than not, many articles are sheer garbage.
Oh, it seems like they also started their own membership thing. Wow!

The site is actually asking me for login now via Google or something else. In recent times, many sites like Howtogeek or MakeUseOf have kinda paywalled unless you login. It works properly with adblocker (uBlock Origin) once I login though.
needs more jpeg Maybe one more time and battery indicator at top.
Yes. Chrome OS is heavily modified(and locked down) version of Gentoo but I doubt any end users of Chrome OS want to experience vanilla Gentoo :p.
Folks who use Gentoo do out of their own choosing, not because someone recommended it. It is quite technical a distro and takes some time picking up. Void, is comparatively way easier to come to grips with than Gentoo.
Void was a great experience last time I used it. A minimal set of tools/software were installed(for some reason, I dislike ISOs/distros that fill everything from Libre Office to an FTP client in it; I will just download them if I want it), the package manager seemed pacy enough and system was fast. It is definitely one of the better distros I have tried.
Forever, no! Sure, compiling Firefox with some flags on my slow system can take ahem, time but I can install Gentoo in couple of days.
Though, in all seriousness, Gentoo takes a notch higher than Arch and unlike Arch, which has many entry level distros based on it, Gentoo has comparatively lesser. It's fully usable but takes some initial time configuring and setting up the system exactly to the user's requirements. The package manager is portage, I think.
Yes, as someone said about the US. It has 2 parties. A right wing and a crazy right wing.
Hasn't Chat GPT in the past even relayed incorrect information to users on some topics? I would assume none of the these fancy AI tools(or are they still language models) still have reached the inflexion point to replace a proper repository of knowledge yet.
Many folks might disagree with me, but no portal can be without it's biases. Everything that involves politics or ideology in some form will be biased towards one side or the other. IIRC, Larry Sanger himself said that the site has a left wing bias. That is not to say that the information is wrong there, just that stuff there could be tinted with a prism that is not exactly neutral.
I used most of the stuff you listed though I usually switched to mpv instead of VLC. On Linux, I used Strawberry for quite some time though I use foobar2000 on Windows. Deadbeef is a good lightweight alternative to that on Linux but always seems to play catch up to it's elder cousin.
