“No Alarm, No Notifications to my phone… literally nothing happened just found it like this…” wrote Cybertruck owner Anuj Thakker, who shared the upsetting news on Facebook a few days ago.

    It’s a rude awakening for Thakker, who may have bought into the Cybetruck’s various security features

    May?
    They don’t know? They didn’t, like, ask him?

    Oh. They wrote an article about a Facebook post without any follow-up questions.
    Modern ‘journalism.’

        Imagine if you subscribed to a YouTuber and they had good content. You subscribe to their patreon. At some point later, they take on a bunch of sponsorships, and eventually they just become a corporate mouthpiece for their sponsors. Then their entire channel just gets bought by the corporation and is ran as a corporate social media account. At what point would you cancel your Patreon subscription? Would you say that refusing to pay that YouTuber for their videos means that you have a part to play in the process whereby they ultimately ended up as a corporate social media account?

        Because that is ultimately what happened with the media, in my opinion.
