I know this isn't the point, but ffs The Verge. "Add age verification to it is consoles"? Seriously?

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

that appears to be OP's headline, not from The Verge.

Yeah, autocorrect got me on my phone — fixed now 👍

Oh, well then "seriously, OP?" Though in this case the grammar issues are not as bad, because I expect professional media organisations to hold themselves to higher standards than randoms on the Internet.

Though it adds a layer because I hate when people editorialise headlines without it being clear that that's what was done. It's misleading and in this case was totally unnecessary, since the un-editorialised headline got the message across just fine.
