# Becca Farsace Leaves The Verge [Why I left The Verge](https://youtube.com/watch?v=hjer379ONJo) by Becca Farsace <div class=iframe-container> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/hjer379ONJo?si=eq510fC66ICtBtYr" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> I watched Becca's video last week when it aired. Immediate resonation. I've written my fair share for publishers, big and small, but the work was always *theirs*. It's why I write this blog. I want to build something that is *mine*. It is kind of crazy that The Verge would just lord over her creations outside of the publication. That looming threat is not something I'd ever want over me as a creative. The Verge lost a big talent, but it is just that: The Verge's loss. We still get to see what Becca makes. We actually win from this. Becca knows her cameras. I love her insight and style. Excited to see what she makes for herself.
