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

That’s current Verge for you. It only got worse since then

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.
