um, the verge is a "culture" site now. here are some current headlines:

Cyrus just torpedoed her own career, and MTV helped
The 2016 Miata: three days with the people’s roadster
Saying Idris Elba is too 'street' to play James Bond is racist
The tough-to-swallow truth about McDonald's all-day breakfast

because you're parked at your desk at work for 8 useless hours and sooner or later you're gonna run out of threads to read here, twitter updates, and actually competent news stories.

buzzfeed, the verge, gawker, cracked, all that poo poo exists almost explicitly to target the bored 9-5 wage slave that's just waiting out the clock.

data-driven editorial means that they keep posting music/celebrity articles, pretty soon they'll be tmz with the occasional microsoft advertorial

I unsubscribed from their rss but since vox bought re/code I still get links to their dumb articles

i remember making fun of cracked's listicles before buzzfeed even existed. they were like the popularizer of online listicles. the only difference between their listicles and modern listicles is they still write a paragraph for each list item
