I mean ArsTechnica is owned by Condé Nast, which in turn owns Reddit. Reddit is very anti-conservative, and has been this way since at least 2014. It's not far-fetched to think that maybe Condé Nast, the parent company is lead by people with similar or compatible values, which in turn affects their other platforms as well (such as ArsTechnica). Another thing to consider is that Gab is sort of a competitor to Reddit, so why wouldn't they fight it.
Reddit investors:
"Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto."[1]
- Sam Altman is an open democrat and has donated 250k USD in support of the democratic party.[2]
- Peter Thiel is pro-LGBT and pro-Trump.[3]
- Snoop Dogg is known for liking (and singing about) weed.
I don't know about you, but this explains Reddit's front-page and their overall content policy quite well. There is not as much information about ArsTechnica as there is about Reddit, but if we do some research I think the realities of ArsTechnica's potential biases will reveal themselves as well.
