A long way to say "go touch grass"

But yes, death of monolithic social media companies would be a good thing on many levels both individual, societal and political level. Especially the American social media media monopoly ending would be such a excellent thing. It has been as controlling over the world as the dollar or US military.

The Verge is full of it to be honest, overly long and intricate articles.
Feels like they swallowed a dictionary and get paid per word nowdays.

that's literally how it works.

I am fully aware of that.

But some reputable publicists try and mitigate bullshit and overly intricate articles that doesn't add anything more than empty words and money to the writer.

The Verge does not in my opinion and tends to allow more worded crap articles than actual content that provides meaning.

But hey, taste is different.

yeah, I guess it's like touching grass, with extra steps.
