The tech content discourse right now has reached peak
1. People discovering clipping like its some magic new thing (highlight / theme pages have been doing this since 2015)
2. Nonstop chatter about how TBPN is shadowbanned, and how clipping drove the outsized value (this makes no sense)
3. People obsessed with organic tech media, except that every single launch video on this app is a hidden influencer campaign (I don't mind a good ad campaign to be clear, but call it what it is)
4. Trying to get AI to do all content for you when outsized content outcomes are all driven by incredibly novel ideas, which ai has trouble executing well
5. "Editors are over" posts where people who have never edited a video in their lives think Claude will suddenly be able to put out a full banger video on its own
Dianna Russini has issued a statement:
“I did something this past weekend that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a woman of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again.”
