The Economist pioneered that strategy of teaching 22 year olds to sound like experts to distracted executives and middle-managers. I think their standards are above Vox's and definitely Vox Future Perfect's (eg. I don't think The Economist would have let SBF's private foundation hire them to write a profile of SBF).

i read a bit about that. i couldn't find quotes from the site employees saying they were trying to be wikipedia, so i didn't mention it because id have had to digress. but almost everyone who talked about the launch mentioned their weirdass card system for linking other articles, and that it was wikipedia like. and all the descriptions sounded AWFUL, like it would just be throwing useless rotating shit at you all the time
