It's interesting that a completely nonprofit social media protocol with 11,000,000 users is being deemed a "failure" by some tech media pundits. But also, they make their bones by reporting on corporate drama, stock moves, creeping dark patterns, surveillance, etc.
So, actually, of course they're uninterested in a smallish, boring, mostly-just-working social media project.
It’s a failure because they can’t profit from it. It’s a community and not a shopping mall.

@tylervu @tess @donmelton Sure, they can profit from it. They just can't do it by manipulating outcomes. They haven't yet learned how to function on a platform where you can't cheat.
