As a subscriber to The Verge & WIRED, it is rather annoying that the RSS feeds that both provide are littered with product recommendation listicles, designed to generate revenue through affiliate links.
While they may be useful to some people, and generate an additional revenue stream, I am paying you. It is frustrating to still be advertised to, especially for something that promotes continual spending, something I’m cutting back on.
This excludes product reviews, which while I don’t particularly desire either, I can appreciate their value to people.
WIRED, unlike The Verge, does not have subscriber specific RSS feeds. Today, the affiliate articles were:
- 7 Best Bike Locks (2025): Litelok, Abus, Hiplok, KryptoLok Compared,
- The 103 Best Amazon Spring Sale Deals for March 2025,
- 4 Best Smart Displays (2025): Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa,
- 5 Best Phones With Headphone Jacks (2025): Tested and Revieed,
- 50% Off DoorDash Promo Code & Coupons
The Verge does have a subscriber specific RSS feed. Today, the affiliate articles in that feed were:
- The 30 best Amazon Big Spring Sale deals under $30,
- Amazon’s big spring sale continues, and we found the 101 best deals,
- Here are the best streaming service deals available right now.
