I could *say* how brutal that interview was. in *showing* how brutal the impression of that interview was, there may be more deductive value here.
- chat is really darkforest (look at the gossipspam & moderation), but some are clearly organic & ambivalent, so there's some authentic recoil in that chat.
- this was more of a "check my phone and vent in the editor's room" break.
- substantive policy is really difficult to articulate in any hostile territory, slogans = memes = crutches, and everyone should know that these interviews only exist for farmable soundbites from any participating POV. yet, with UX like twitter/twitch, everyone can fork these snippets. "relax, I've got it covered" would have gone so far, in fact it was probably the only way to survive.
- there's a distinct possibility that internal pollsters are overfit away from the internet culture that mobilized the 2020 vote. either way, this was a quasi-forced, erroneous October surprise. 5 replies
