“Becca Farsace is a talented young video producer who, until recently, worked for The Verge, a technology journalism website. She’s now gone solo, and put out a video explaining why. It’s worth watching. Farsace is open and honest about the challenges and loneliness of remote work, and the friction creative people can feel in large organizations. Her reasons for leaving The Verge are good ones. But they’re not reasons that make The Verge look bad, even though that’s a narrative spinning up in some corners. She wanted independence, and control and ownership of her creative output, and she couldn’t get it within The Verge right now. … The Verge failed to hold on to Farsace, true. But did the network that grew her talent?” (08/30/24)
