I agree that it seems to be a case of miscommunication and It's-not-my-job syndrome at AJ and its partners. But unless there's a huge burden in hosting costs -- and the fact that scrollytelling didn't break the hotlinks (nevermind that the story didn't seem widely shared in the first place) seems to suggest that they weren't huge -- it doesn't seem necessary to escalate this in the way that it was.

I've had luck communicating with media folks by prodding them on Twitter, e.g. "Hey @editor, who is the best person to talk about etc etc". Did ScrollyTelling do that? Was it necessary to jump from private prodding to hostile accusation via subtweet?
Maybe I'm missing something, but the first public tweet regarding this matter is this: https://twitter.com/Scrollytellio/status/769971299317911552
