So I've struggled to find a sub that I can ask this question, since dedicated technology news subs just only let you post links to news and not actual discussion of news sites. I used to read a combination of Engadget, Gizmodo, and The Verge for general tech news. This is over a span of a decade or more. Gizmodo was always a cesspool, but I guess I wasn't very mature and could overlook how juvenile it was. It eventually got sued into oblivion along with Gawker's whole network. I had abandoned it years prior. The Verge has always been a vomit of unorganized news stories with a heavy hipster, progressive vibe. I dabbled in it for a bit but got tired of it. The one I've mostly leaned on was Engadget. It wasn't always the most in-depth, but it didn't have to be. It had my most coveted format, which was chronological blog style where you can scroll from top to bottom and see all the posts until you reach the last point you stopped at. It was great for completion and FOMO. I just wanted the news, a general smattering of everything, not exntensive deep dives, and most definitely not politcally charged opinion pieces masquerading as news. But of course, like much of the internet, it's leaned heavily to the left, and has turned every product reveal or social media revelation into an angry social justice diatribe. I'm getting so tired of it. The latest fiasco is a hit piece on Elon Musk and the newly released Cybertruck. It's been around for years, and they've covered it objectively enough for years, but somehow all that professionalism has been thrown out the window in favor of railing against how this new truck will somehow kill people on purpose, because they can't get past their personal hatred of Musk. I want facts, not your deranged opinion. Cost, release date, charging standards, stuff like that. They have also recently vomited maybe 200 "listicles" during Black Friday in a sorry attempt at ad spamming. I really need a replacement tech news site. Something blog style that covers a wide breadth.
