The Verge:

1. Elon Musk sucks and everything he says and does is stupid.

2. We must discuss politics and write 10+ stories/day about Elon Musk.

3. Benchmarks are stupid, we'll just tell you how it feels to use it and you figure it out, that's much more objective, comparable, and useful.

4. Nobody uses VR, the 20+ million Quests 2 units sold are a myth.

5. We don't use/like/understand product X, so nobody must use/like it. If you do, you're an idiot and please call us because "we [like to pretend we] have so many questions" (repeat constantly).

6. Apple rocks.

7. There's nothing wrong with hiding charging ports and power buttons underneath devices, you're just an idiot who's using them wrong or not the target market because what idiot uses mice while charging or turns off computers? (Mac Mini)

8. Powerful, mid-generation consoles are stupid, only 11 people in the world want them. (PS5 Pro)

The Verge commenters:

1. Elon Musk sucks and everything he says and does is stupid.

2. If you disagree with #1, you're a fanboy or Nazi.

3. Microsoft rocks and never does anything wrong. Everything they do is good and justified because Apple and/or Google do worse.
