This is all very subjective, but I&#x27;ve never found The Verge to be intellectually stimulating. It&#x27;s just your run of the mill  shallow gadget site, only with better graphics. It doesn&#x27;t go in depth the way Anandtech does for example, and there&#x27;s little of Arstechnica&#x27;s investigative journalism. The Verge spends more time optimizing how their pages are designed than their journalism.
