That’s a good link, but it relates more to stories which disappear and resurface periodically, wherefore the term “Submarine” in the title. When it’s just a brief flurry of activity that isn’t tightly focused (Such as the NYT’s pushing Instapots) I’d bet on pure laziness.

The comeback of the Midwest via tech is not a new story. Very quick googling shows these articles, but I remember many more stretching as far back as 2009 when I first started reading tech news.

I would bet if you did some more detailed analysis on the older archived this pattern would hold up. 2011: https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/820032 https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/820032 2012: (also nytimes) https://mobile.nytimes.com/2012/11/22/us/silicon-prairie-takes-root-in-the-great-plains.html https://mobile.nytimes.com/2012/11/22/us/silicon-prairie-tak... 2013: http://amp.timeinc.net/fortune/2013/08/09/bringing-silicon-valley-vc-to-the-midwest http://amp.timeinc.net/fortune/2013/08/09/bringing-silicon-v... 2015: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joelkotkin/2015/09/03/the-comeback-of-the-great-lakes-states/amp/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/joelkotkin/2015/09/03/the-comeb... 2016: https://www.forbes.com/sites/petertaylor/2016/11/07/why-the-midwest-is-about-to-become-americas-next-silicon-valley/amp/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/petertaylor/2016/11/07/why-the-... 2016: https://venturebeat.com/2016/08/28/in-5-years-the-midwest-will-have-more-startups-than-silicon-valley/amp/ https://venturebeat.com/2016/08/28/in-5-years-the-midwest-wi... 2017: (also nytimes) https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/19/technology/midwest-tech-startups.html?referer=https://www.google.com/ https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/19/technology/midwest-tec...

  Oh wow, I stand corrected. That’s as submarine as it gets, for sure. Thanks for pulling those links together, damned convincing.
