Ars Technica kicks off a 2026 reader survey to hear from every reader

Ars Technica has launched its 2026 reader survey to collect feedback on how readers engage with the site and what they’d like to see more (or less) of. The brief, non-identifying questionnaire uses SurveyMonkey, aggregates responses, and pledges that no personal data will be sold or distributed outside Ars. If responses exceed 10,000, editor Lee Hutchinson jokes he’ll personally visit readers to sing thanks—subject to availability and humorous conditions—highlighting the publication’s appreciation for its audience.

Verge maps new homepage feedback into fix, explore, and pause buckets

The Verge explains that reader feedback on the new homepage is grouped into three buckets: Bucket 1 (fixes) for bugs and rough edges that have been addressed (e.g., scrollbar, Read More links, bottom-category reads); Bucket 2 (worth investigating) for ongoing questions like how the Latest feed is presented, dark mode, story dates in curated sets, marking read/unread, and personalization; and Bucket 3 (not right now) for ideas not currently being pursued, such as Free-to-Read/Subscriber Perks and major structural changes. They emphasize transparency, limited resources, and prioritization, and invite further feedback via comments, a feedback form, user research, or direct emails.

Precessing Black-Hole Jets Quench Star Formation in a Merging Galaxy

Astronomers studying the nearby merging galaxy VV 340a detected kiloparsec-scale, precessing jets from its central black hole that heat and eject coronal gas, removing star-forming material at roughly 19 solar masses per year—an unusually large-scale example of black-hole feedback that may suppress star formation, though the merger could later reignite it.
