This is actually fair. I’d personally welcome more critical reporting that actually bothered to dive deep into the substance instead of gossip. Like a critical version of Ben Thompson/stratechery.

Also: Tech people are upset at existing tech criticism/reporting. While there are notable exceptions, the real problem is most tech reporting HAS NOT BEEN properly critical and too often focuses on trivia and remains superficial. Tech has NOT been criticized/scrutinized enough.

Some things I’d like for as signs of seriousness/tech literacy: - as much interest in backend and semiconductor companies as consumer tech/social media. - no scare quotes around basic stuff like “API”, “computer.” - talk to senior engineers at least as much as CEOs

Most reporting on tech tries to fit it into existing trends that are popular in the rest of the media (positive ones like “cloud” or “fundraising”, negative ones like “Theranos”). Clubhouse is interesting in that its gets peers diving into interesting obscure topics in public

Tough but true answer: subscribe to a Reuters or Bloomberg (probably Bloomberg) subscription analysis service. Problem is that the value of such a thing is reflected in its price, generally not good ROI for even knowledgeable, engaged citizens.
