404 is fantastic. I hope they don't catch a case of corporatism from the massive media conglomerate they're partnering with.

- wizzwizz4 2y agoI doubt they will: the journalists involved are quite familiar with such organisations.
- echelon 2y ago404 is deeply pessimistic about everything. They peddle fear, and I can't stomach it.
- ChrisArchitect 2y agoRagebait constantly. 2 stories sounds about right for the number of valuable investigations they turn out in a month.
- gjsman-1000 2y ago> 404 is deeply pessimistic about everything. They peddle fear, and I can't stomach it. Not a huge surprise - it's former employees of Vice Media. The world was better when they went under. They slowly declined from doing interesting investigations like visiting North Korea (2012), to running articles entitled "All Masculinity is Toxic" (seriously, 2018).
- drannex 2y agoVice is back btw. And the world lost a lot when they left the space for a short while, they have some of the best journalism in the more fringe cultural bubbles.
- AlexandrB 2y agoTo me that kind of seems like the role of journalism - especially in tech. There are plenty of PR departments that will give you an optimistic outlook about any given technology. The key question is whether the pessimism is reflexive or based on data and investigation.
