Misguided idea, imo. Trying to "fact-check" whatever one encounters (because it's digital) is counterproductive and, frankly, an authoritarian impulse. Plus, journalists should NOT be reporting on everything they can access. News value and public interest, not gossip and prying.https://twitter.com/NiemanLab/status/1359934480417501185 …

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.

"Someone said a wrong thing on Clubhouse, call the fact-checkers" and Clubhouse's own growth team—and VC's hoping for exponential returns—are in a symbiotic relationship. Loser: the substantive discussion on how to deal with a profound, amazing AND terrifying historic transition.

Ah. For example. Talk to me about how low-zero interest rates interact with how VC firms chase exponential growth through network effects without regard to negative externalities—and how these rates also funded authoritarians for a ~decade—I'm ALL EARS. https://twitter.com/beejoli/status/1361349845601054724 …?

Growth team plus media attention may do it! Scale up rooms, start recommending/amplifying, "improve" discovery, big media writes about some scandal... The sides have something to be angry at, Twitter fights, more people flock, growth team happy, rooms scale up and... Square one.

Fundamental prob is SV Tech makes huge $ from virality, and that means incentive to promote negative, tribal, reactions as fast as possible. Any given venue may take 5 years to figure out how to maximize their profit, but that will *always* involve destruction of common purpose.

Technically the home feed is already algorithmically ranked, giving more visibility to more sensational rooms. Likely to get much worse as they scale w/o intervention
