Everything that's wrong with tech journalism, in one tweet.

Allow me to go on a little rant here.

Technology is becoming pervasive in our lives. Critical components of our world are increasingly becoming more dependent on the internet. We're putting critical infrastructure, and home appliances online.
Larger and larger swaths on the information/media ecosystem are more and more dependent on Google and Facebook.

Nations have already successfully swayed other nations' elections or at least popular beliefs with mediocre disinformation campaigns.
Now more than ever we can't afford to have a tech press that just waits for these multi-billion $ giants to give them access and embargoes in exchange for puff pieces.

We need critical technology reporting. We need 5,000-word investigative pieces, not 5,000-word iPhone reviews.
Let's all be better because no one should care more about how the new iPhone camera is as opposed to Amazon or Tesla's shitty labor practices. Or the rampant sexism of Silicon Valley.
