i haven't visited the verge website in a long time and I didn't know they have redesigned it, when did this happened?
I think its the worst design I have ever seen, it has too much going on its distracting.

 

[SJRB]

Yeah it's terrible. Total assault on the senses.

What is this shit?

 

[It's all in the wrist]

They got a case of Elon derangement syndrome. I stopped looking at them a few months ago.

I use Engadget in my news feed. Not ideal, but at least I don't have to deal with politics.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Don't you see they are at the verge of intellectualism.

 

[Fbh]

See, your first mistake was visiting the Verge

 

[chromhound]

can't use that shit anymore

 

[dr_octagon]

The Verge have smug, pretentious and terrible editors. One deservedly got backlash for a terrible take about a nasa scientist wearing an anime shirt. The writer is a petty, hateful, self righteous cunt.

 

[Mossybrew]

Yup. It had been on my list of bored-at-work websites to check but after the redesign I haven't gone back, it sucks that bad.

just like people from ERA?

There's quite an overlap in that Venn diagram, for sure.

The Verge used to be a site that web designers would look to for inspiration.

Now it's a giant heap of shit...just like its writing staff.

 

[PSYGN]

Who's bright idea was it to flash you from a dark background (homepage) to a white background (article)?

I'll give them one thing, though, the site loads damn fast.

Whoa, it's rare to see you make a serious, critical post with curse words. I can practically feel the hatred emanating from my computer screen--Did Bragr get ahold of your login? lol

 

[DaleinCalgary]

yup

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The Verge became a shitty extreme woke leftist politics site after they were acquired by Vox Media. What the site looks like is irrelevant, the content on that shit is shit.

 

[AJUMP23]

What a mess.

 

[Spukc]

Dude the layout of that website is amazing on mobile!

Kinda like most creative magazines these days in the UK.

Loved it. Not so sure about the content tho

On the other hand arstechnica website is simple and very nice to look at.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

I used to check out the site from time to time, but since the redesign I can't be arsed to.

It's legit annoying and painful on desktop.

 

[VN1X]

First time I've ever heard of someone going to that website.

Shame on you.

[HoodWinked]

Ya I visited the site for the first time in a long time because of the recent changes to YouTube. And at first I was confused and thought I went to the wrong site. Then realized the address was right and it must be a redesign but it looked like digital vomit.

 

[TTOOLL]

Yeah it's terrible. Total assault on the senses.

What is this shit?

It's gross.

 

[IWasInSeinfeld]

Ever since they turned into Elon's personal stan website I stopped visiting it.

 

[winjer]

Never was a good site for anyone with a real interest in technology.
Always avoided visiting such crappy sites.

 

[Tams]

Terrible website. Don't give them the traffic. The whole of Vox Media in fact. I'm surprised it's taken them this long to disappear up their arses this much.

And their existence bears a lot of similarities to REEEEEEE and here. Engadget did get pretty toxic. Those who 'knew better' went and made something 'better'. The old place is now much better than the breakaway.

The commentariat (and the odd reviewer - remember that they had a paedo as one) leave a lot to be desired though.

At least the site can still be enjoyed if ignore the former.

Another thing that is annoying is that most of these sites are all morphed to be the same thing. It's not just a vidya site, a tech site, etc. They all talk about capeshit, they are all political obviously, they all have tons of snark and snarky bitchy commenters. It's just a blight.

Yet, for some reason Polygon has by far the best walkthroughs and strategy guides on the internet. So whenever I want to look something up I always end up there.
