Yeah, that’s exactly right. But after suggesting public critique, I was stunned to see the level of contempt many in media have for their readers. This is way worse than I thought.https://twitter.com/bonnienorman/status/1000470928067776512 …

"contempt for their readers"!? You are misrepresenting the criticism. How good can your idea be if you have to resort to arguing a strawmen instead of engaging with the actual criticism? ()

I'm not familiar with this discussion but I do know that there are people working in media who are deliberately serving altered and/or false information for their readers / viewers. That could be interpreted as contempt?

So why not familiarize yourself with the discussion before posting a defense for one of the positions? This "posting before researching" attitude is exactly one of the reasons why Musks idea is not very good.

Also: Just because someone correctly identifies a problem doesn't mean they have the right solution. This is a recurring theme unfortunately: People misrepresenting criticism of a proposed solution as ignorance of the problem itself. But they are two separate things.

What actually throwing me off is when someone just tells me that my ideas a shit without proposing a better one.. I understand that people get butthurts, but without rational explanation it is just BS
