Nick Bilton Finally Admits His 'Insider Sources' Are Just AITA Posts He Found On Reddit
San Francisco, CA - In a shocker that nobody saw coming (except literally everyone), tech journalist and professional futurist Nick Bilton has dropped a truth bomb no one asked for: his "exclusive scoops" on the metaverse, Apple's secret projects, and the next iPhone are allegedly just heavily archived AITA threads from this very platform.
"I was just scrolling r/technology one day, saw a post titled 'AITA for prototyping a wearable computer in my garage?' and I thought, 'That's it. I've got my next 2,000-word column,'" Bilton allegedly said in a leaked Slack DM from the *New York Times* office. "The sources? Yeah, I've been naming my Reddit browsing history 'Deep Throat' for years."
The internet's collective reaction: "TL;DR - Man sees internet, writes book." Meanwhile, Bilton's publicist is now frantically tweeting that his next big scoop will be revealed "exclusively on Substack" for the low, low price of $15 a month. Yay for the future of journalism, I guess.
