I& #39;ve got a tonne of angry dudes in my mentions about an article that mentions Uber and taxis. I& #39;m normally happy to discuss stuff like this but not when people are rude from the get-go.
Accusing me of being "bought & paid for" & "taking the Uber length" is disgusting.

Googling my name plus Uber gives you some tweets and articles that mention Uber, yes! But you don& #39;t seem to have even read them, quite a lot were negative because I& #39;m a person with nuanced opinions, rather than some blanket "Uber = good" doublethink

Freelance tech journalists get paid fuck all & it& #39;s hilariously out of touch to claim we& #39;re being bankrolled by big tech.

On Gizmodo, I& #39;m assigned stories & generally have about half an hour to write a piece. If you want more research, consider funding journalism, it& #39;s dying.

That& #39;s all I& #39;ll be saying on this because like I said, if you& #39;re rude out of the gate, you get nothing.
