// HOW WE WRITE

The BTM
standard.

01
We have opinions
This is not a press release repost. We take stances, defend them with substance, and change them when the facts demand it.
02
No hedging
If something is bad, we say it is bad. If it is great, we say it is great. Wishy-washy writing does not serve the reader.
03
Direct, not disrespectful
Raw and unfiltered means honest. Not reckless. We write with edge, but we back everything up before we publish it.
04
Earned trust
We correct mistakes openly and quickly. Your trust in what you read here matters more than being right the first time.
