I think I understand chyros a bit, he might've seen the dark sides and injustice of these establishments, maybe that is the source of his unrest
I had limited interaction with "tech blogs"/"news outlets" or whatever the term is, and indeed they are not what they should be or seem to be
You might approach them with a genuine keyboard design / product, they might not even answer to your email, but somehow, for this specific razer product, we see an article that borders on an "ad"
So it's not that I don't agree, but maybe don't use insults, and instead be more logical, so maybe, if someone googles "The Verge" at one point, they might use your facts, instead of dismissing them
Anyway, I personally have a deep hatred of what "media" has become, hype machines ...
