This reminds me, a few years back, I wanted to have a site linked and spoken about on major internet news (tech) sites.
Submitted the story, never saw anything about it. Probably not sensationalistic enough. Then I figured.
Sent the story to a few smaller news sites. ONE took the story. Next day, ALL sites including major news sites had the story.
Of course, these days its expected that news site leech stories and perform zero journalism, but back them, even thus I wouldn't say it surprised me a lot, it felt wrong hehe.
