I’m seriously questioning if you’re a bot because you’re throwing keywords and expressions you do not understand.

You’re complaining of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) articles. This is clearly not that.

Those pages ask the same question multiple times even in organic forms of how you randomly type it into a search engine. Just close any site that starts wit something like: “Don’t you hate it when your remote doesn’t work? If you press the button on your clicker and nothing happens, you need to open it and repair the buttons. If you need to fix your remote, start off by checking the batteries…”

Journalism should not be “here’s all the info in one paragraph” and be gone. However, a good lead should reply to 5 questions: What? Who? How? Where? When?

But this is not a news piece, this is a fluff column about old tech. You can just hit Wikipedia for easy-to-read digested info (I do that frequently).

For all the shit ways journalism has gone to, and the ocasional misteps The Verge has done (their pc building tutorial, go watch it for a giggle) this actually a cool column.

Last I read they are also sticking it to Spez by continuing to report on the shit Reddit has been doing.
