Paywall 👎
Seriously, when did The Verge get a paywall?
About two or three months ago. It's not for all content, but their more in depth stuff, How X did Y articles, and other writing that's more analysis and opinion than reporting on facts usually goes behind the new paywall. Anything you'd care about for news or breaking stories is still free, which is about 75%+ of the content on the site.
Recently for a small amount of their content. Personally the editorial choice of putting that particular article behind the paywall, considering how important it is to the moment we all face, is questionable.
Firefox reading mode bypasses it.
