@verge @grok explain this to me

[Jake Kastrenakes @jake_k]

@verge @grok is this true?

New from me @verge: I wrote about all the SEO tricks that people say are ruining the web. Table of contents, keyword-addled writing, all that extra text everywhere.

The story has visuals that track a fake site as it morphs into a site optimized for Google Search, not readers.

@sokane1 @Cookie Congrats! Such a great team. Glad you’re back at it already!

New today from me: Businesses across the country are picking SEO names like Thai Food Near Me, Psychic Near Me, and Notary Near Me, trying to outsmart Google — to questionable results. We live in a society! https://t.co/3T1wN6Byhw

It’s a Hot Pod mic drop! Returning it to the @arishapiro, who will now be running this insane newsletter by herself. Go to her with your tips, pitches, and burning questions.

Going on vacation for two weeks (OMG!) but will be back at @verge in November! https://t.co/aengc1ATHs

I have seen this technology myself, and it is stunning. In the last week of @dvdnetflix deliveries, this article is pretty interesting. Thanks to all at the hubs for their dedication and innovation. You will be missed. https://t.co/C2cvIjhVt7

Good morning! Want a sneak peek from my upcoming book The Six? Businessweek has an excerpt adaptation this AM, all about the process of selecting the first American woman to go to space https://t.co/6gqohHqHDL

fascinating story from @jesslucaswrites about the clash between doctors and DID tiktokers, both of whom want the same thing: better understanding and diagnosis https://t.co/qwOfk54DGL

[Adam Dubé @PsycGrad]

Great journalism on the convergence of culture, technology, and mental health. https://t.co/OOAEfdacHg

[Jessica Lucas @jesslucaswrites]

Clinicians are concerned by a rise in young people who appear to be mimicking symptoms of dissociative identity disorder.

TikTokers feel they've been unfairly blamed for the situation, which they see as potentially harmful moral panic. My latest @verge https://t.co/7hQvowdVZb

love this piece from @kathrynfiona diving into how news consumption has changed for gen z… and how messy relying on creators/influencers quickly becomes https://t.co/Kyh1tS0ESo

[Jake Kastrenakes @jake_k]

I thought @alexeheath had made a mistake in this story when he said that Sergey Brin was *not* the event’s special guest...

but no, Grimes shows up

This is a fairly disastrous breaking of NFTs. Artists are no longer getting paid! This was what the system was for! https://t.co/X7FgUic18b
