Upvoted for visibility, but I disagree with the reviewer.

His main points begin at 2:40.

He notes he's not bothered reading F&SF for the past 10+ years. After that he claims - with no evidence - that the new editor, because she's black, was hired because of DEI. After that - years after - F&SF is late getting out their next edition, the last one of which was in Winter 2024.

1) F&SF has had declining readership - at least for this reviewer - for at least the past 10+ years.

2) There is NO evidence that the new editor was hired because of DEI. The fact that the's black, and an SF writer is NOT related to DEI.

3) One should look at how F&SF lost much of its readership - or at least this reviewer's readership - in the past 14+ years.

4) Is the current editor making matters worse? Perhaps yes, perhaps no, but it's NOT necessarily because of DEI.

5) If DEI is the reason for the hiring of the current editor, the reviewer's claim of this would have to depend on what he knows of what happened among the hiring team that hired the editor.

6) If DEI influenced that decision, does it matter? No. The performance is what matters, and a bad editor can be replaced.
