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.
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.
