The man speaking in this clip is Nilay Patel. Hes the Editor in Chief at The Verge.

He also used to be a lawyer before moving to journalism full time. So he knows Bullshit when he sees it.

I used to think that The Verge were just a bunch of Apple zealots who couldn't even do a pc build video properly. They've come along way since then. Reddit would be absolutely insane to try and take on something like The Verge.

Side note , Nilay also has a podcast called Decoder where he interviews the heads of companies to get an idea of how they run and what their goals are. Its a pretty good show and I reccomend it. The one where Nilay takes on the head of Substack was hilarious

The hit piece Nilay did on Elon was fucking savage and one of the best things I've ever read on that site

Thanks for the link, that article is delightfully savage. I laughed so hard my cat came over to check if I was dying.

I found his point about how the content moderation is the product to be insightful, and I haven't thought about it that way before. I wonder how he feels about Lemmy in that regard.
