“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

The Tesla Files contain more than 2,400 self-acceleration complaints, 1,500 braking function problems, and 1,000 crashes.
The leaked files show Tesla instructs employees to only communicate verbally about complaints so there’s no written documentation.
