Thank you for your insightful response. You make a good point that it's not necessarily unfair for companies to receive coverage on major tech publications like Techcrunch, as the process is not predetermined and success is not guaranteed.

However, it's worth noting that some companies may have more resources or connections to facilitate this kind of coverage, which can give them an advantage over others who may not have those same resources.

Again, it is an advantage, but not necessarily an unfair one.

You can construct an explicitly unfair scenario if you wish (say, a familial relationship with an editor), but absent something like that, I'm not sure there is anything to complain about, even in principle.

I'm failing to see the issue.
