> There are very few real tech review sites that test devices based on objective criteria. They don't get as much traffic compared to websites like The Verge.
The industry has a very carrot-stick mentality. Gamers Nexus for example gets shit on by everyone especially when they call this shit out while the "real gaming" channels just go along with anything to get review copies.

The riser short-circuit fire hazard fiasco made me respect them quite heavily.

Well that’s about 50% of the US market that you’re describing and honestly the US market is the number 1 priority for companies, followed by China. Other countries are faaaar behind in third+ place.
The Verge still has quality content as long as you keep in mind almost all of their reviewers live in the US, they are all in the Apple ecosystem, and they wouldn't be able to talk their family and friends if they switched to Android anyway.
They have no reason to be enthusiastic about anything that's not an iPhone or an iPhone accessory.
