I hope you’ve got a lot of names, because there’s a shit load of dumb out there right now

We are going to revolutionize the media with blog posts

I remember coming home from high school and the first thing I’d do was visit Engadget and Gizmodo. Happier times.

Same! I would have never expected that habit to be my tether to reality 15 years later, but I'm so glad to have grown up with Nilay and Paul and Josh and Joanna (and Sam Biddle and Brian Lam).

Please revolutionized the media by making the dark theme on your homepage optional. Not everyone can read a dark theme easily.

What is the recommended path to get quality articles through RSS while avoiding the infuriating "this connected nose trimmer is at its lowest since Black Friday" headlines ? Please take my money !

samthegeek.net•39 days ago

And Zines!

mdequinto.bsky.social•39 days ago

Btw, Nilay, even if I make it crystal clear to YouTube that I like your videos, it will never ever recommend them to me. You're being shadow censored hard from my standpoint.

in blogs we trust

sgivol.bsky.social•39 days ago

Already a subscriber and that is a big part of it! Keep up the good reporting

Nilay, I'm a proud subscriber and podcast listener. My week isn't complete without discussion of Bluetooth and the implications of shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.

chrislongman.bsky.social•39 days ago

Thank you!!

I would love to be able to pay with PayPal. Any reason that isn’t an option?

okmanideep.me•39 days ago

That is fair use... of my money

scoobydoobiddoo.bsky.social•39 days ago

Weren't you the one who said..."I don't make it a habit to pay for something that was once free"? Not sure if it was you but it was definitely said by one of the hosts of the vergecast.

jordance.bsky.social•39 days ago

Just subscribed!

wonkish.bsky.social•39 days ago

As a new subscriber, any chance we could also get a “New Commenter” badge on the cavalcade of trolls who are joining to post (almost entirely right wing) trolling BS in the comments section? Possibly even a “you can’t comment immediately with a brand new account” feature?

jamisonfoser.bsky.social•39 days ago

this is a *very* compelling pitch

boukou.bsky.social•39 days ago

Best media subscription I pay for. 👍

shajithchacko.bsky.social•39 days ago

Excellent reminder and thjs is gonna sound like snark but I promise it isn’t: can you post a URL that I can click to give you money?

reckless.bsky.social•39 days ago

ha yes I am so bad at hustling for conversions on social media https://www.theverge.com/subscribe

shajithchacko.bsky.social•39 days ago

Done, easiest 50 bucks you’ll make today!

gregorybr.uno•39 days ago

i'm not going to lie ... i didn't subscribe before but this convinced me.

chrisvanbuskirk.com•39 days ago

25 TikTok articles in the past 24 hours was a bit much. Well, maybe it was less…I am a subscriber and I don’t have a TikTok account.

heikoscherer.bsky.social•39 days ago

Create your own social platform including mobile apps that help you to use engagement drivers all platforms use. We help u with that >>> https://tchop.io

jordanbiffle.bsky.social•39 days ago

Something tells me we're going to be reading a lot about the Dark Enlightenment for a while.

bobstarr.xyz•39 days ago

All this and, perhaps most important, a very real understanding of journalistic practices that all major news outlets have forgotten long ago.

annabyang.com•39 days ago

Y'all are great. And I love your podcast.

cmurphy.bsky.social•39 days ago

Subbed 🫡

jeffmcdork.bsky.social•39 days ago

Having worked in the legacy media for nearly 30yrs, watching decision maker put all their eggs in someone else’s basket, this makes sooo much sense. Even more so now. Subscribe weeks ago. Hats off

utkarshgupta137.bsky.social•39 days ago

Subscribed on day 1. Desperately waiting for ad-free podcasts!
