Traditional media outlets are not exactly in the friendliest of terms with social media platforms in the realm of disputing ad revenue.

That's an institutional attack from content producers against a platform. In the limit publishers could host their own lemmy instances.

Interesting and rare thing to see...

    Ehh. I don't think that this is some elaborate strategic move coordinated from on-high at media companies in the space of a day or two. It's just a big, high-profile event to write a story about.

    I agree it's a big high profile event to write a story about.

    But it wouldn't be put upfront covers with that level of screen real estate if each of the individual publications didn't have vested interests on it. Maybe with a few exceptions.

    Not necessarily coordinated, but like a discoordinated lynch mob, just... Not holding back?
