To their credit, they did issue a retraction and repost the story with correct steps.
The copyright strikes were definitely a dumb way to handle it.
Idk if true or not but in an Arstechnica story, The Verge’s editor in chief apparently asked the Vox lawyers to rescind the copyright strikes.
I don’t mean to sound like I’m defending them. The video should never have made it up in the first place, but people make mistakes. If you own it and apologize, I’ll give you a second chance.
I don’t always agree with their take on a topic, but for the most part I have found them to be factual.
I do also agree with many Ed Zitron takes about them tho. They could be doing a better job on AI, but over the last few weeks I’ve seen an improvement there.
TLDR: that PC build from 8 years ago was dumb and extra embarrassing, they should feel bad for it, but I still think some if the hate they get is unjustified.
Found it. Yeah that video was bad.
