It's as important as Ethics in Game Journalism!
That's when The Verge (and Polygon) truly discredited themselves. But I'll gladly take them as allies in the fight against reddit.
What's the context? I don't know this story.
They made a pc build video which was bad. Lots of bad stuff in it which you shouldn't do when building a pc, sort of stuff which would make common sense not to do. It got ripped to shreds by other YouTubers who did their own videos about it.
Probably still all on YouTube.
Someone from The Verge made a bad PC assembly video and it became a running gag to dunk on them for it. Apparently the guy did another video with LTT explaining what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKzmYsySGFQ
Jokes aside, The Verge is alright as tech journalism goes.
I was just making a joke, The Verge isn't that bad. I've been reading their articles for years and they're a decent enough outfit as tech journalism goes.
