Hey there he replied to an Elon meme. I don't know what he posted. Someone replied to him with a picture of something he wrote a while ago, and then something about a DARPA secret space program thing.
(Implying that Luke got suspended for saying something about a secret space program. Weird right? I tried to ask the guy who replied to him what he said but he never got back.)
Let me dig up the link. I'll start at the Secret space thing. Above it is a picture of a Luke post from a couple of years ago, above that is the post that got him banned, above that is the Elon meme it was responding to.

Are their theories why these sort of stories get missed/ignored? Or is it just that these places are run by small teams and budgets with people who really only follow bitcoin as a part of their job?

The teams are small, but some of those stories are BIG.
Some of those publications cover everything Coinbase does, for example. How could they ignore the Lightning Network integration? It's baffling. And suspicious.

Part of the smooth brain shipcoiner belief system is that “Bitcoin is boring” “nothing is happening on Bitcoin”

It makes sense for shitcoin media companies to leave out Bitcoin. Those companies only post something if they are paid to post it. And the only reason to pay for such a post is if you have money to make from that post.
Bitcoin is doing extremely well and there's nobody behind it paying for promotion. Whereas shitcions are promoted by their founders and most shitcoins are doing very poorly (though the founders generally make huge profits).

I have worked for shitcoin media companies (SHAME!) and I could basically post whatever I wanted, they just required clicks. Clicks mean money. There were a lot of paid posts also, of course.
However, the Pledditor selected big news stories on that thread. It's suspicious, to say the least.

Yep.
Is there a conspiracy, though? LOL.

why would they mention something that is better in almost every way? Why would they mention the MOST cencorship resistant crypto when they can distract you with fast tps and lure in the $$$
