Pros
It was fun to write articles, and for a time, they allowed all sorts of topics, so long as they were interesting, which encouraged me and other writers to contribute. Other writers are pretty friendly too.
Cons
They got more restrictive about topics, often focusing on the latest trends, to the point where things got samey. If you want to know everything about open-world games, they've got a ton of lists about the minutiae of them, but if you like other games (e.g. fighting games), you'll barely see anything new. It's also much harder to earn money from articles now than in past years, likely by design based on the new contract. It was basically a 50% paycut disguised as a meritocratic bonus.
