Main stream reporting.

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.

John has acknowledged it on Twitter, but there won't be any segments on it until the writer's strike is over.

Just need to make sure he drives attention to the server costs too. A Last Week Tonight hug of death could kill the site deader than spez's career outside Reddit.
