the verge ran a thing on miley cyrus on monday that was the dumbest loving article i've ever read also lol @ online journalism just publishing whatever the gently caress, miley cyrus has nothing to do with the verge's mandate but they'll do anything for clicks

yellow journalism pays for investigative journalism, just as summer blockbusters pay for arthouse flicks and pop records pay for indie records i'm fairly ignorant of vox properties to know if there's a margin i'd care about, though

the best was when they talked poo poo about how the mobile web was so slow. then someone analyzed their site and it was like 14mb of trackers and analytics and 800kb of content.

wow, the verge's css is 500kb. that's impressive. then they load another 200kb css for typekit fonts the html alone on this page is 270kb with 1743 elements. the article is five paragraphs and this is months after their parent company declared "performance bankruptcy" and started cutting nonessential code

yeah he loving melted down, it was great and defending that dumb bullshit as "personal style" and saying anyone who doesn't like it is ignorant is incredible. so your personal expression is that you're a hot topic kid from 2002, got it

have you guys literally never seen a blockquote before? I mean their design for them is particularly bad but this has been a standard practice in articles for most of a century

I'll keep it brief. I'm among the probably very, small minority who wants and good specced 6.5-7 inch phone. Very small bezels, big battery, 1080p screen is fine, expandable storage, decent camera. The only ones to hit the nail on the head are the Huawei MediaPad X2 and the Huawei P8 Max. Neither of which made it to the U.S. Now Lenovo's... Phab phones (ridiculous name but who gives a f***) again, basically hits the nail on the head. No U.S availability. $#%&@#% Closest I've come to what I actually want is the Sony xperia z ultra 6.44" (bezels were a little too big, mediocre battery, mediocre, low brightness screen, Mediocre camera with no flash,touchscreen issues) Samsung Galaxy mega 6.3" (atrocious specs even for the time) and most recently the Sony xperia z3 tablet compact 8"which had all the U.S. bands and great specs pretty nice battery life but no flash on the camera and in reality, 8 inches is too big especially with the huge tablet bezels. Anyone else with me here, or do I just sound like a crazy person?

Triglav posted:i remember making fun of cracked's listicles before buzzfeed even existed. they were like the popularizer of online listicles. the only difference between their listicles and modern listicles is they still write a paragraph for each list item the point of the video they did was that they don't do them because buzzfeed started it, they do it because it works even though they hate them, so they just take normal articles and convert them into the listicle with a clickbaity headline
