This reads more like the commondreams, dailybeast, newrepublic, HuffPost headline echo chamber filler that always tell you what you want or expect to hear.

Gizmodo isn't bad, but they're also kinda known for this among the tech press.

It's why they're still alive I guess...

The part that makes things feel doomed in a Google search engine enshittification kind of way is when the articles with similar vein headlines read almost verbatim to one another, like everyone is scraping from everyone else instead of doing their own organic work on it.

But if you only ever doom scroll headlines, which some individuals do, you’ll never catch that pattern.
