Literally Ars Technica reviewing anything
OMG yes. The most egregious in movie/tvshow trailer reviews.

Who tf cares about a random quote included in the trailer?

Here's a subtitle for a He-Man movie trailer from the other day: "Skeletor took my family and he destroyed our world."

I mean, anything would have been better than that, and "Another attempt at live action movie based on 80s action figure" or even "in theatres on X.Y." would be Pulitzer material in comparison.

lol, what a gem (positive) that essay is turning into
In this case, a CEO is reaffirming their decision to layoff thousands because of AI was the correct decision.
"CEO retroactively justified a thing they did by saying a thing" journalism?
Just "shit". No need to overthink it.
