      Someone who gets the fucking context.

      The fact they aren’t replacing him is perfection.

    At first it kind of seemed like Nadella might be a decent caring steward for Microsoft. Now it seems a lot more like he’s just relentlessly focused on profits at the cost of all else.

    Microsoft eliminating independence from companies they bought has almost never gone well. I don’t understand why they keep trying.

    Not really “exclusive”. This news is all over the Internet today. I don’t know why news outlets do this. No one cares if it’s “exclusive” or not.

      I don’t know why news outlets do this.

      Cause click-bait. Also, very likely, because the term has been abused with such frequency that AI headline generating tools are slapping it on posts with abandon.

      No one cares if it’s “exclusive” or not.

      In theory, long-form interviews and other deep-dive investigative journalism offer a more comprehensive look at an individual or event. And so an “exclusive interview” is noteworthy because it provides so much more content to the subscriber.

      In practice, the term’s been flogged to death for so long and so routinely abused that it has lost all meaning. So “no one cares” because nobody trusts the signal that the headline prefix is supposed to convey.
