I'd argue this is because social media is ironically enough, manipulated less than traditional mass media.

Despite brigading from any side, anyone can get anything trending on social media, including videos of the aftermath of israeli air strikes, meanwhile nothing but filtered news headlines make it out of editors.

A fun exercise is comparing how big news websites frame headlines when Palestinians die (passive voice) and Ukrainian / israelis are killed.

Yep, people not seeing the usecase have not tried to build a serverless product on AWS and found themselves stuck between cheap, performant but denormalized ddb or whatever the fuck aurora serverless v2 is supposed to be.

I do not want to denormalize my data model, i do not have a high performance usecase, I simply want infrastructure that scales with usage (down to 0) and a flexible normalized model I can build more on top of easily.

DDB is great and all until you're asked to add 3 filters and orderby feature and suddenly you're adding elastic search to your project
