This article is an interview with somebody who has no idea what the problem is. He just waffles on about the fact he made a documentary about the factory nine years ago.

Dude is literally a documentary maker. There is no special knowledge, and their response phrasing is highly speculative.
Doesn’t change the fact that I find it low effort - I had the same conclusions about Sriracha from just cursory google research.
Let’s agree to disagree.
How is that considered *low* effort? I understand criticism of authors where they literally copy paste some random tweet, but critizising this as *low* effort sounds a little unjustified to me.
It’s just that I didn’t learn much from the documentary guy /because/ none of what he said was insider-equivalent.
It was just common sense, and maybe that’s all this niche blog was going for. Fair enough.
I’m not convinced that the average person would find it hard to understand that a shortage of the input ingredient would cause an output crisis.
As opposed to the WaPo article where they just talked to some dude who owns a sushi restaurant and uses sriracha.
Which one is supposed to be low effect, exactly? The documentary guy took the time to explain why crop failures from months ago could impact sriracha production today.
My point in linking it was to avoid speculative reasoning.
