As social media platforms pivot away from news distribution, a look at news sites like The Verge, which feel more like social media, with aggregation and more

I think this also speaks to the fact that internet users desire more constructive aggregation, because social media really isn't doing it at this point. Threads will actively prevent you from knowing what's happening today lol, hence, newsletters, single-glance landing pages
