Im just saying that the sexy tactics that pharma employs to market to doctors are employed to swoon/extract information from tech bros just the same.

Just as you can spot a pharma girl from a mile away at a hospital, the same is often true of vendor reps and account managers on tech campuses too. [23:46] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:46] schestowitz @stautistic [23:46] schestowitz [23:46] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:46] schestowitz And if journalism champions that tech is overrun by toxic masculinity, then employing a gang of velocitarts to manage relationships and extract information seems logical. They already rely heavily on sex to advertise, so using it to extract information etc isnt much a stretch [23:46] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:46] schestowitz @stautistic [23:46] schestowitz [23:46] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:46] schestowitz No journalist in their right mind would argue against the notion that attractive women tend to get places in tech. They dont even need data to support this. Yet you expect the masters of advertising sex to overlook this tact themselves? Or would you expect them to capitalize? [23:46] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:46] schestowitz @stautistic [23:46] schestowitz [23:46] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:46] schestowitz But if this alone were not compelling enough for you, I welcome you to simply go drinking with a few FAAMG tech execs. If they think youre a good ol boy youll hear all about how far these integrity beasts will go for an exclusive. Toxic Masculinity is proud of such antics. [23:46] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:46] schestowitz @stautistic [23:46] schestowitz [23:46] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:46] schestowitz Just as plenty of doctors have stories about the lengths that pharma girls will go for a sale, the exact same is true of tech executives and there is no shortage of accounts describing how far pharma girl journalists will go on their knees for an exclusive. All day baby. [23:46] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:46] schestowitz @stautistic [23:46] schestowitz [23:46] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:47] schestowitz Ironically and like so many good looking people in jobs that skill alone cannot justify, many attractive tech journalists dont seem to have any real tech experience, lob softballs at the powerful, and could stop working today to no noticeable detriment to society. [23:47] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:47] schestowitz @stautistic [23:47] schestowitz [23:47] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:47] schestowitz And to no surprise, you will also find no shortage of less attractive journalists who have also noticed the that attractive journalists also seem to have a high promotion velocity throughout journalism too; no differently than tech. Almost like theyre peas in a pod. [23:47] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:47] schestowitz @stautistic [23:47] schestowitz [23:47] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:47] schestowitz We are often presented this veneer of a narrative wheres its men vs. women, toxic masculinity vs. feminism, and journalism vs. tech. But this couldnt be further from the truth when looking under the sheets. Tech journalist is merely the final form of a prostitute; nothing more. [23:47] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:47] schestowitz @stautistic [23:47] schestowitz [23:47] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:47] schestowitz And while all of this might seem curse and unfair to journos, please realize that you wont find a single, solitary journalist on this planet that would argue against any of this publicly. They know all of this to be true better than anyone and will never indict their own trade. [23:47] schestowitz mitchel lewis [23:47] schestowitz @stautistic [23:47] schestowitz [23:47] schestowitz Dec 12 [23:47] schestowitz There are absolutely gorgeous and homely looking journalists alike that dont conduct themselves this way while speaking truth to power, I know a few. But they only seem to create the illusion of objectivity for an industry that is literally going heels to Jesus for tech. [23:47] schestowitz " [23:47] schestowitz Tech Journalist or Pharma Girl?
