The Waveform hosts had pitched Goldman on investigating a recurring YouTube bug for his podcast. He told them tech companies are the least likely of anyone to answer his questions, and put the odds of getting the technical explanation at zero. He agreed to send the email anyway.
So here's what I'll say about this. Tech companies are the least likely to ever respond to our channels. We actually had two active Google-related investigations.
