		psbp on July 24, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Josh Topolsky of The Verge Is Joining Bloomberg Nilay is more likely than Topolsky to make the Verge a lifestyle magazine. He has a very limited taste in gadgets and I've never seen him broach technology topics in a very insightful way. He wrote a bunch of aggressive 'state of the internet' op-eds that were praised, but they didn't seem to be anything more than popular rallying-cries for semi-knowledgeable tech enthusiasts.

That's actually very true, I'd forgotten that. But maybe this transition will be a challenge for him to increase his capacity and taste.

My same sentiments, his stuff is often filled with typical rally cries you'll see from places like Reddit.
