Possibly. But, if WL staff/volunteers are being diverted from systems administration to tasks that inflate Assadnge's reputation/ego/etc, such as finding and contacting celebs to speak on his behalf, the website will suffer. I have no direct evidence that's the case here but it's a likely possibility given their long-term negligence toward promoting datasets and defending sources. So while I'm guessing, it is an educated guess that WL is likely diverting resources from maintaining the website, the leaks, the journalism, and shifting them toward fluffing Assadnge (and, lately, Jordan Peterson). Manning says something brief along these lines in her new book, too. That will have consequences. The antonym of narcissism is effort.
