News/media sites are aggregators. You are commenting through a service that aims to be an aggregator itself (lemmy).
What do you mean you don’t get it? Not everyone uses mastadon. A lot of people turn to verge to see what’s going on across many different places at once (whether it’s good content or not is besides the point).
You’re being purposefully obtuse with your remarks here.
Journalists should provide something more than aggregation imo, like context, commentary or even critical research.
Now if you want to use a simple aggregator, that is fine. And as you point out, I use lemmy as such.
My problem is that we aggregate the aggregator here. If you want to read the Verge, go for it and subscribe to their newsletter. But why would I want it on lemmy? What value does it provide? The primary source is easy to understand and accessible.
I donated to a German outlet recently. Could I do more? Sure. But that is true of a lot of things :)
Also not sure how this is relevant to this at all. I did not ask for better journalism on this topic, but for none. Just post the primary source instead of a rehashed version.

Regardless, thanks for the direct link

How much did you pay for this high-quality journalism you demand so earnestly?
