      The Verge seems to have moved primarily from long-ish form articles to these little “snippet” tweet-length things, and I gotta say, not a fan.

        It’s been that way since the redesign. Nilay went all in on building it around Twitter and then ElonGate happened, so they kinda backed themselves into a corner. Pretty good coverage of the reddit blackout though.

    People seem to overreact to the loss of some convenience or extrapolate problems that are not real.

    A local store being closed for a day doesn’t mean the concept is dead. One branch of a megastore having trouble doesn’t mean the whole chain sinking. Downtime is just a fact of life. Sometimes I don’t even notice that they happened.
