... is a typical TheVerge author?

Is this typical? I don't often read the Verge unless someone links it, but even the first paragraph already made me cringe a bit when they talked about "deciding to buy a plane ticket" or whatever idk the exact words, I'm not going to read that again lol

I clicked on this article and was elated not to see autoplaying videos, cookie stuff, pop ups, ads, anything. I dunno if my PiHole had something to do her that but damn, that’s a clean article tho (yeah I still didn’t read it, I’m not at the “thinking” stage of the day yet)

Love your name and the music that immediately played in my head also
