I miss the pre-covid era when the chattering class didn't know anything about tech. So nice to not be the product of think-pieces and in the ire of NYT readers.
The "chattering classes" in general and NYT in particular have been writing think pieces about tech for decades [0] [1] [2] [3]. So I'm not sure what you're talking about and what COVID has to do with it.
Agree to disagree, then. I think the direction of the trend has been pretty clear and I'm an avid reader of the news, but it is a difficult thing to quantify in the aggregate.
