Ask HN: Has the quality of TheVerge.com gone down significantly?

I know that they never were excellent, but I remember them being quite good on day to day mainstream tech events. But now, whenever I open it, it feels like reading BuzzFeed or some other dumpster fire.

To give an example which was published just today: https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/5/23011810/elon-musk-twitter-sec-board-member-moderation

It starts with: "Ahahahahahaha fine. Longtime shitposter Elon Musk, who has a side gig as the CEO of Tesla, is on the board of Twitter, a newly minted meme stonk, after filing the wrong form with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Tremendous content."

So, question: does anybody else feel that way or was it always shit and I just didn't notice or am I just growing old?

Lastly, any recommendations on good mainstream day to day tech sites/blogs (as I won't be reading this trash anymore)?
