    I think the real reason tech dudes hates media is a lot of tech is smoke and mirrors, especially in early stages. I mean Silicon Valley people come up with nifty idea which may or may not be viable & raise money off it. Anyone asking any questions at all is naturally a threat.

        Yep. There is more to why tech dudes see it as a threat, but this is a great tweet that gets at one of the cores of it.

        But they usually have tame media happy to hype anything up.

        I have seen this personally in large consulting firms that model themselves on tech companies. Lot of hype and hot air to inflate careers internally, when 90 percent of it is vaporware.

        that seems true to an extent! But I'm not sure that's more true than the idea that media hates tech in part because media companies are in financial competition with the tech industry

        I don't think media hates tech at all! For the longest time all tech reporters were fan boys and they ran around crazy-chummy with founders/CEOs. Marc Benioff, for example, often partied with reporters and had very personal relationships with them.

        Bill Gates literally sold Altair BASIC to the maker of the Altair without having written a line of code, or even owning an Altair. The line between early development tech and outright fraud is pretty fuzzy.

        “Tech dudes”? Sounds like you really mean marketing execs.

        Also, I think they're all such academic nerds at heart that they treat any business like a school project. And then it baffles and confuses them that there are real-world consequences or effects.

        Only once they have a big pile of VC money they’re beholden to. Early on, questions are a godsend
