      Get John’s attention, hope he does a segment on it.

      I hope he not only does, but that he drives attention here, it will bring new users.

      Who else, if chosen, would lean into it quite as hard and enthusiastically as John Oliver would? This is is raison d’etre here! It’s fine to question why, but if not him, who else?

        The tweet was in response to having already been chosen. He was fanning the flames.
