Well now you're shifting the goal posts to a different topic. I was responding to your claim of this set of companies being random and your concern about some not being included

The size of these companies is irrelevant to that point

And who are these companies you keep mentioning? They don't even come up when I search them on DuckDuckGo. That's how small they are in comparison to the companies the author included as "big tech"

I'm not moving the goal posts -the goal posts as I'll state them is "Big Tech Media" is a nebulous term that you can't reasonably define as these 13 companies. I don't know why you're struggling to find the people I've listed, MKBHD is arguably the single largest tech youtuber, John Gruber at daring fireball regularly appears on HN, Mark Gurman - at Bloomberg is basically the leading reporter to cover Apple, and I don't think we need to explain how big Bloomberg or Wall Street Journal are. But they're conspicuous by their absense. As for the ones that are on the list - they're largely just brand names as part larger conglomerates like Conde Naste or Future Plc, or Yahoo!

What I'm saying is we can have standards like "I took the 10 brands that have the top ranking on Alexa in this category plus 5 tech arms of larger titles" - or something like that, an actual objective standard for what they're selecting rather than a grab bag of 13 random companies.
