This is a lovely time capsule.
Used to be the case that Gruber had the best sources in Apple. He went corporate and started doing managed PR for them and now would you believe he no longer has the inside scoop?! It’s hilarious.
The reason he doesn’t think this is happening is because he doesn’t have sources anymore, he has handlers.
- hyperhello 6mo agoI don’t know if he was captured and made to produce pro-Apple content. He does that on his own. But reading that did make me question why he wrote it. Why does he care?
- adampunk 6mo agoI don't think "made to" but as someone who followed his blog for many years, there was a before he did a special episode of his podcast with an apple VP and after. And clearly after he had a different perspective. It's IMO just not hard to imagine why. Every giant company has a procedure on how to manage journalists and every ex-journalist turned mouthpiece thinks they're too savvy for that.
