There are plenty of better reasons to hate The Verge; reposting Press Releases as "news", jumping on trends of public opinion, 12 minute video summaries of 30 minute events, staff who think Debian is some sort of anti allergy medication (this has gotten better, but there is still a little too much Tim Cook semen spitting at times.), "reporters" who have the job of reposting anything from Techmeme and techurls, the stench of Vox elitism, staff posting quote tweets as news and staff posting their purchase recommendation emails from Amazon (with affiliate links added) as "deals".

All that being said, it's still leagues ahead of Gizmodo and I do think it's worth reading.

This is how it feels to skip 5 minutes into a Numberphile video

3 minutes into browsing this evening and already found the Russian shrill 😞

They've decided to step up the arms race because they've hit peak daily user count and the only thing they can promise to the board is force increasing premium memberships. I take it channel "memberships" are also not hitting the numbers they would like and they haven't destroyed Nebula or Patreon as they'd hoped.
