Thousands of words to say:- cosmic voids are real but not actually empty, just lower density than average
- pop science articles sometimes mistakenly use pictures of Bok globules to represent voids
This is probably one of the lowest signal-to-noise ratios I have ever seen.

Contrary to popular opinion, the "verbosity void" of the article is not a hopeless expanse without any useful information at all; it just has a much lower density than average.nyuk nyuk
Anyhow it barely touched on dark matter... Like, are the voids themselves where the dark matter is, or is it spread out, um, orthogonally?

I found the article quite interesting and informative. Your tl;dr does not accurately describe it.by mcswell
