Lol again, everyone in this community loves to call The Verge corporate shills but then has no problem upvoting and commenting on posts like these. Like if the Verge were truly biased by corporate interests, wouldn't an article like this be the place most ripe for that bias to show through and be a problem?

I get that the community is not a hive mind and is made up of many different people, but on posts where people are criticizing the Verge because they don't like the way they show the corporate viewpoint you'd be drowned out completely if you were to argue anything otherwise. The irony just kills me.

It's not clear from your post whether you've read the article. In case you haven't, it's not really about printers.

I mean it is but it isn't. I think Nilay wanted to get the Verge back at the top of the search engine results but also wanted to make a point about why he had to do it. It's funny because it's really 2 paragraphs about it and then the rest of it is a normal article about the best printer lol. And the fun Gemini thing thrown in.
