    Ironically, it’s news that’s free, and garbage is behind the paywall. Verge is not what people remember it being from years ago

      The verge I remember from a few years ago tried to make a video on how to build a pc and look how that turned out

      Yeah the free stuff is probably something that has been reported in multiple places, with a bit of added context.

      Meanwhile the paid stuff are all either glorified progressive opinion pieces or in-depth analysis written by someone wholly and completely unqualified to perform said analysis.

      I don’t know when you think the verge was ever good though. Even during its best years it was putting out shit like that build a PC video.
