Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

I guess what I’m saying is great consumer products don’t make young people feel anger and despair the more they use them www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/s...

More than half of Gen Z-ers living in the United States use generative artificial intelligence regularly, but their feelings about the technology are souring, according to a new survey released on Thursday by Gallup, the Walton Family Foundation and GSV Ventures, a venture capital firm that works in education technology.
The percentage of respondents ages 14 to 29 who said they felt hopeful about A.I. declined sharply since last year, down to 18 percent from 27. Young adults' excitement about artificial intelligence dropped, too, and nearly a third of respondents indicated that the technology made them feel angry.

"I always start by saying that I cannot promise anything in terms of Al visibility because it's still tricky and there's still not a right way to measure," Fybish told The Verge. Traditional SEO is still important, Fybish says, but now
"search" encompasses many different plattorms beyond Google, wherever people are looking for information.
The Growtika team was shocked at the attention its tech media report generated. (The traffic data, which came from the marketing company Ahrefs, purports to show estimated monthly organic traffic from the USonly.)
Fybish says it was a win on all fronts. It generated links to the Growtika website and was cited by news outlets, which he says will help the firm's credibility and site authority. It also was a lead generator. Some of the responses were negative, he says, but his
