Every time I see a post like on X or elsewhere, what comes to mind is:
Hey! I (or some person I'm gonna interview) will soon release information that the Bad Guys would KILL to keep under wraps! Really! They would KILL me or my interviewee, and here I am posting about it ahead of time! Yes, there's still time for the Bad Guys to prevent this info from coming out!
WTF?
Just post the damn information, interview, or whatever, instead of announcing it ahead of time, for crying out loud. The extra clicks aren't worth exposing someone to danger.
I'm not really complaining about ValueFuckingDeep posting this here -- where the audience is tiny and the cat's already out of the bag on X -- but mostly wondering WHY ON EARTH people who, themselves, are about to unveil serious information either directly or via an interview, keep doing this. (Of course, in many cases the Serious Information turns out to be Meh, but still).
The best way to get labeled as a shill is to claim something will be released in the future. 99.9% of the time the poster is proven to be a shill. Post up or shut up.
