Also Vox media is a clickbait site - the same one that attacked people for social distancing to avoid Covid earlier this year as 'tech bros'.

Most of articles on Verge/Vox are blogspam around other sources adding little to no value. Engadget covers gadgets, Ars Technica covers wider issues, the rest probably won't be popular on HN.

On HN we go by article quality, not site quality. The big sites all have occasional good stuff among reams of...less good stuff.

Entire verge/vox are long form tabloids but with sophisticated wording which is deliberately contrarion. I've read polygon only once and they did come across as very, very good.
