Traditional media billionaires made the world worse too. It's just power changing hands, without tech-bro we would have something-else-bro pooping on our heads as we always had. Let's not be naives.

it's such false power though, the politicians don't realize we can regulate the shit out of big tech and reallocate the money to more noble causes and google and facebook and all the other "tech" companies that aren't doing much but sitting on monopolies will be just fine. They don't need 1/100th of the capital they have to provide the service they do to society.

Why do we need qualify every piece of tech journalism with a "Yeah but...the media..."

So change it to big-pharma-bros, big-four-bros (kpmg, delloite, ey, pwc), wall st-bros, big-three-bros (s&p, moody's, fitch), religion-bros... my point is that billionaries will always be around and there's nothing we can do.

Not reporting on them sure will help!

Also there are journalist owned outlets like 404 media that report on tech. The idea that it's all controlled by billionaires is just giving you the excuse you want to surrender with.
