Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

My bad. I suggest you post that separately perhaps on the same community so that everyone gets the info.
EDIT: I put the link on the main post
The difference here is that The Verge is a tech site. That they chose to lead with the tech-related aspect shouldn't be surprising. Not a Verge apologist; I mostly stick to ArsTechnica.
There are plenty of better reasons to hate The Verge; reposting Press Releases as "news", jumping on trends of public opinion, 12 minute video summaries of 30 minute events, staff who think Debian is some sort of anti allergy medication (this has gotten better, but there is still a little too much Tim Cook semen spitting at times.), "reporters" who have the job of reposting anything from Techmeme and techurls, the stench of Vox elitism, staff posting quote tweets as news and staff posting their purchase recommendation emails from Amazon (with affiliate links added) as "deals".
All that being said, it's still leagues ahead of Gizmodo and I do think it's worth reading.
Wait, the Verge said the multimillionaire that paid two Indian guys $5 to hold an English sign they didn't understand that said "death to all Jews" is a nazi? The guy that also paid someone else to dress up as Jesus christ and hold up a sign that said "Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong?" The same guy who likes to shout the N-word during his "gamer moments?"
How unfair of them.
"It's not fair to mention that he gets drunk and beats his wife. He also has a lovely singing voice, does that not count for something?"
