I'm probably heavily projecting my own personal flaws here, but I've come to believe that the driving force behind that community is to feel smart and be recognized as such in some public forum. Therefore their strategic thinking was compromised from the start in this particular instance. There was no chance of them collectively deciding to follow your proposition.
- coldtea 6y agoPerhaps it was not about "strategic thinking" to achieve some end goal, but about denouncing what they feel is wrong? Besides, I don't see any "let's stragetically be hush about it, so the article goes unnoticed" ever working. The mere publishing of the article, with no reaction, would be enough to have personal consequences for the blogger. At least with the big commotion, the shittiness of NYT publishing it has come under scutiny too. So the reaction might be strategically good too.
