I’ve definitely noticed tech, especially tech press, getting much more political and negative in the last few years.

I don’t really know if it’s the WHOLE of tech (or just how it’s reported), but it definitely feels like a downer right now.

As a tech liberal dreamer, it’s totally getting to me.

I want to read about interesting new solutions to problems, but at the moment it seems mostly like negative press about Uber.

Obviously it’s responsible to call it when conpanies do bad things, but is tech really unethical on the scale of pharma or agrobusiness or fast food? Doesn’t seem so. ( I get that they’re tech press so they’ll only report on tech, but context would be nice).

Feels like the optimism is gone?
