      The two groups trying to censor/destroy Clubhouse are the Chinese Communist Party and the New York Times

      I don't think the NYT is trying to destroy it. They just need someone to pick a fight with in order to generate outrage clicks. These fights are good for both their businesses, just like beefs between rappers.

          Think there's a distinction between the NYT as a company with financial incentives and some of the staff as an organized internal lobby with ideological/ personal ones and it seems very unclear where decision making sits. Though on beef => click there may be aligned motives

          That might be the reason why *other* social networks appear. But not all will be *dumb* The more they 'fail' the sooner we will have a *smart* one

          I think on a personal level it's more "don't like it when competing narratives crop up in such decentralized corners"

          When are you going to wake up man? Its hard to comprehend the disconnect between how smart you are, and your level of cognitive dissonance about the media trying to destroy tech.

          It's not because I have too high an opinion of them to believe they're trying to destroy tech. It's because I have too low an opinion of them. In my experience (which is extensive) they're mere opportunists.

          The tone on many tweets (not this one) isn't set to have constructive discussions. Some do it on purpose, while others don't realize they are serving the purpose of the former

          Does it really look like Sulzberger is in control? Eg: 150 unionized NYT staff request removal of colleague because management’s punishment wasn’t harsh enough. Total subversion of union protections.

          Damn, I have to admit I ABSOLUTELY fall for this trap most of the time. Substack and NYT are often playing the same game. I wonder if they all get together for drinks and laugh at the plebs that fall for it. #wwe #media
