Kinda sucks that whenever major news outlets cover a social media company, they only interview the people who own the company and nobody else involved. Like here, maybe it would've made sense to interview a mod or someone. The way major news outlets frame it, social media outlets are theme parks and the only people who work to make it function are the owners. Most users see them more as pseduo-government leaders, and when you think about it like that it makes a lot of sense to interview the people on the ground like they do in non-tech related news pieces.
please NEVER interview mods lol unless you want some new cringe entertainment like with the antiwork mod
I wouldn't say to interview mods, unless they were directly in the centre of organising this, but they give almost no insight into what the broader reaction is outside of the comments of the CEO. They don't bother to peer into a few subreddits and see what discussion is like, nor mention any decrease in users, etc.; they just restate Spez's talking points as if he's the only thing relevant.
