New owners don't seem to be interested in producing the sort of content that used to be TR's "bread and butter"; instead, it appears they've cut expenses to the bone to stop the bleeding. It is entirely possible the site can continue to limp along like this indefinitely, but it is just a shadow of its former self.

Kind of sad in a way, with all the good memories in the years following the split from Ars and everything. But I'm not super surprised, tech sites for techies are kind of a niche, and either you really need to go really hardcore, or diversify a bit, and I guess with less of the mass market appeal its competitors had it was bound to go sometime. At least Scott is seen a bit here an there in various interviews and stuff.
