I am also surprised you put the Verge in there but not Ars. The latter having fallen down the cliff in recent years and not doing a lot of original reporting despite their budget.
Given that the number of comments are still visible, you can still see the hot topics, and then try to read the title from the tab. But I've actually found myself not doing that anyway.
Regarding the list, it's non-exhaustive.
So what if 6.99999 billion of us can instantly learn about the atrocities committed by the evilest 10,000 or so? What is there to do about it anyway? The overwhelming majority of us just process it into some vague us vs them emotion, internalize it as either "oh that's nice" or "those bastards", and then move on with our lives anyway, after losing a bit more faith in humanity.
Lies, lies, and the occasional fact-check... does it materially change anything at all?
