Look at the HN new Tab. See all the negative press about Elon and Twitter. You think this is organic?

Well, it certainly hasn't been going great. I have no idea if it's organic, but the tech press reporting bad news about an ongoing tire fire is expected. Why would you even need to manipulate the news, when the company itself is generating bad news at such a rapid clip?
