This is why #TheVerge sucks now BTW. They’ve emphasized appeasing #BlueAnon and screwing over the people who made their videos and forgot that the whole point of why people liked them in the first place was that they were cool people with good insights in the tech and social media space.

But they drove away fantastic contributors like #backlon and #BeccaFarsace, who killed it at both journalism as well as review videos, and didn’t replace them with anyone with equivalent talent.

Now the #YouTube channel is pretty much just podcast clips, and the website (which, to be fair, hasn’t declined as poorly) feels less like a place for journalism and news than if you ran a competing site like #Engadget through the filter of #KaraSwisher’s glasses.

The Vergecast’s Brendan Carr is a Dummy segment from March 20th has, IMHO, the best listener-created jingle to date. I think the creator’s name is Julia.

Well done. I’ll be singing it for days.

Google Sucks Shit: According to The Verge, Google search is now replacing headlines—those things we painstakingly craft—with inaccurate, AI generated AI slop, often changing the meaning entirely in what the company calls a "small and narrow experiment."

It changed a Verge headline from "I used the ‘cheat on everything’ AI tool and it didn’t help me cheat on anything” to “‘Cheat on everything’ AI tool.” This is bad. Google search was the internet. It's a fucking verb.

So many tech publications post what are thinly veiled ads dressed up as articles.

In the latest instance of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, the Trump admin's FCC is telling broadcasters to stick to a supportive narrative, or else they may face issues when renewing licenses.

Is it worth it paying for #TheVerge website?
Do you consider its a site worth supporting?

The usual #paywall technique annoys me but I do like some of their content, and its now 50% off...

I absolutely love how #TheVerge has titled one of their video’s chapters on an updated #Samsung Galaxy AI feature as “slop generator”. 👍 (Oh, and that privacy display feature is actually cool.)
