    My bad. I suggest you post that separately perhaps on the same community so that everyone gets the info.

    EDIT: I put the link on the main post

      It’s okay, I am just using your post to express my anger with The Verge I read the nyt article first and then saw this headline. I was like wtf??? Crowdstrike was the most inconsequential detail in that article, and you chose that as the headline? And you worded to make it seem worse? I think they just hate Youtubers in general. I stopped reading them after they went after Pewdiepie and made him a nazi. Went back last year but they are still spreading misinformation it seems.

            You only know him from controversies.

            “It’s not fair to mention that he gets drunk and beats his wife. He also has a lovely singing voice, does that not count for something?”

        There are plenty of better reasons to hate The Verge; reposting Press Releases as “news”, jumping on trends of public opinion, 12 minute video summaries of 30 minute events, staff who think Debian is some sort of anti allergy medication (this has gotten better, but there is still a little too much Tim Cook semen spitting at times.), “reporters” who have the job of reposting anything from Techmeme and techurls, the stench of Vox elitism, staff posting quote tweets as news and staff posting their purchase recommendation emails from Amazon (with affiliate links added) as “deals”.

        All that being said, it’s still leagues ahead of Gizmodo and I do think it’s worth reading.
