The Verge's top 10 neighbors span tech blogs, magazines, websites, and tech personalities — with no single dominant pull and scores compressed into a narrow 0.99–0.97 band.

Gizmodo (0.99) and WIRED (0.98) sit at the top, both Marketing Channels but in different subcategories — Blogs and Magazines respectively. Jack Dorsey (0.98) is the first of two Tech Personalities in the top 10, followed by Medium (0.98) and TechCrunch (0.98), both Websites. The shape is flat: the gap between the first and tenth neighbor (AngelList at 0.97) is less than two percentage points, and no single neighbor pulls meaningfully ahead of the rest.

Subcategory composition across the top 10 breaks down as: four Websites (Medium, TechCrunch, Product Hunt, AngelList), two Magazines (WIRED, Mashable), one Blog (Gizmodo), two Tech Personalities (Jack Dorsey, Alexis Ohanian Sr.), and one Travel brand (Airbnb). The dominant pattern is tech-adjacent digital media — Websites and Magazines together account for six of ten neighbors — but the presence of Alexis Ohanian Sr. (0.98) and Jack Dorsey alongside Airbnb (0.98) signals that the audience shape extends into startup-culture and founder-class territory, not just editorial tech coverage. Product Hunt (0.97) and AngelList (0.97) reinforce that startup-ecosystem thread.

The flat shape indicates an audience that is broadly shared across the tech-media and startup landscape rather than tightly bound to any single peer.
