So many tech sites call for boycott of Twitter (see Engadget) yet they actively post on Twitter to their massive audiences. Put your money where your mouth is and delete all your corporate Twitter accounts.

I'd happily subscribe to mastodon.theverge.com just to avoid Twitter.
Verge was amazing, but slowly seemed to drift in the direction of being the Vice of tech news. I remember watching a "how to build a PC" video that I was convinced was parody but was actually serious.
I don't think I have ever looked at the Verge until this comment so I decided to take check it out. The first article that I clicked on was about how it is OK to Schwarzkopf my watches. Not exactly hard hitting tech there so doubt I will ever return.
So many great Youtubers were demonetized for making fun of that Verge PC build video.
I agree. The Verge used to be a top tier tech publication, but now many of their articles come across as unnecessarily angry to me — especially since their recent redesign.
Vergecast is both informative and entertaining.
I watched every episode of On The Verge, and tend to think the network faded out when Josh Topolsky left.
Maybe it has? Please refer me so something better in the domain of consumer tech.
This isn't a bad piece but the "demise of Twitter" stuff is laughably incorrect and sounds like Spaceman Bad brainworms.
