David, your intros on these Tuesday podcasts are one of my favorite parts! In particular, the one from a few months ago where the overarching theme was “sometimes you just need a change”, and you listed off very simple things, like rearranging your desk or swapping out your phone case, was extremely relatable to me, as I too struggle with wanting to buy things just to scratch that itch. Thank you for being personable and vulnerable in that way, instead of merely brandable. :)
1:00 I mean, I will admit I super don't care about these silly intros, but respect for the "Probably a fair point, but it's also probably not gonna change." 😂
I would bet a significant amount that David’s intros are bringing substantial engagement to the podcast. I only got hooked because of the video intro because I prefer “second screen” video podcasts (which is why I’m here)
I’ve never really thought about ads on The Vergecast and only due to this episode was reminded that there is a universe without RUclips Premium. Also, $50 is a good price point FYI. It is completely worth it to support a great organization.
Anyone who questions how the lightning round sponsor will affect their coverage should go listen to last Friday’s episode where they spend almost half the show trashing AI and then reveal that the lightning round is sponsored by Amazon AI
If Patreon is the internet's "Tip Jar" and subscriptions are an "admission fee," The Verge and your publisher need a "referral program" because it sounds like that WAS social media and search...
I love The Verge! I will subscribe soon once I have some more savings. Please give an app - the website keeps logging me out frequently on Apple Safari! If not a proper app - at least a PWA compatible with Safari Podcasts chapters too please
Listeners from outside the US (I live in the EU) don’t get the Goblins book. Can we have something else? Just send us merch. Also, the monthly price may be a good deal on US salaries, but please think that where I live is more like the price of a full meal)
I like the multi-episode format of The Vergecast now. Friday episodes (usually) feel very different from the others posted during the week, which allows me to self-select what type of content I'm interested in. I'm ALWAYS up for Friday banter. Disclosure: My post was not sponsored by anyone, nor does anyone have any ownership interest in me or my post, other than perhaps my wife, and she doesn't care about this tech junk.
I would like to get the Verge Subscription, but 50 Dollars in INR is like a lot more money. The Exchange rate makes it a bad value, especially as a Uni Student. I don’t know how this can be fixed but if it was i would get the subscription. Additionally I wont even get the verge print mag(More salty about this tbh). I have already been hindered in reading the Verge by the subscription banner.:-(
You failed the communication. I will not pay nor continue reading the Verge. If you launched supporter tiers or premium, I would go for it. I loved Verge. But day by days the love goes by, and its not only my fault
Nope. Keep the intros. It makes you seem like a real influencer. Just a sneak peek into the random things in your life. It makes me feel closer to you in a parasocial kinda of way. Lol 😅😂
Would be happy to pay money to remove Patel from podcasts lol. I honestly feel like he has ran off many tech journalists. He's obviously paid enough to purchase ridiculous tech products the average tech consumer wouldn't touch (All the AV stuff). IMO where the Verge goes wrong is its heavy left bias views. Tired of the Trump hate, Elon hate etc.The moment he took over to Topolsky his head got super inflated.
The Vergecast Meta of saying that David shouldn't do ads to having an ad that he voices in this episode is *chefs kiss*

Noooooo, don't listen to people who want fewer episodes. Gimme Vergecast all day everyday. Every other podcast is a lower priority. ❤️

Put the full theme song at the end.

"Younger audience doesn't even know there should be a firewall." Gen Z saw that Fyre Fest documentary in 2019 did they not? ;)
I really like your podcast but the sound intro really reminds of some old fashion radio station

WE WONT PAY
Eh. You and I won't, but I'm just not interested. If someone gets something out of the subscription, why be mad about it?
@@austingallman-brown418there’s regular content on their website that’s pay walled now , literally a review of Monument valley 3.
already paid, kinda cool
Don‘t pay dude if the content is not worth for you, but speak for your self. Other people may appreciate the work they do. 😊
Broke
The verge is forced to do subscription from the higher ups, low views, that’s why.
