I used to go to screenrant for entertainment news (particularly for "geeky" content), though I started tiring of slogging through the posts to find anything worth reading (fan art is not news, imho). I started going to collider, which was pretty similar in content. Recently, both sites now require signing in to read their content. It's supposedly free, but I just don't want to sign up and sign in just to read a simple article or blurb, especially when the content isn't that great anyway.
I tried CBR, but they also require logging in. I realized all three sites now even look the same - same format, even the same font. I looked into it, and it turns out they're all owned by a company called Valnet, Inc:

Seems like Valnet is just buying up every media outlet they can, which is another reason I have no interest in supporting these sites. They're all being homogenized so they're indistinguishable from one another, yet still operating separatelyso as to create the illusion of different, competing sites. I also found it a bit odd that Valnet has no Wikipedia entry. I mean, I did find their company's website easily enough, but it's full of generic corporate jargon and buzzwords and not much else, wgich only reinforces my suspicions that they're just out to acquire as many media outlets as possible and not really provide anything of value.
Anyway, back to my question: are there any similar entertainment websites out there (that Valnet doesn't own)? IGN is the only one that I've gone to that has anything along similar lines.
