Why do I have to go to Reddit in order to find "official" information?

As with all leading game developers and publishers, seeking out your customers on as many channels as possible is best for open communication with today's internet-savvy gamers. A tiny fraction of game owners will ever visit the respective forums; in the case of Elite, around 5% have accounts here, with a much smaller number being regular visitors according to publicly available statistics.
Hence why FDev also have their official Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram Frontier accounts to communicate with those respective social-network users, and also have official accounts on Reddit to communicate with /r/EliteDangerous users (and /r/PS4 & /r/XboxOne during the AMAs there).
Correct, but I'm also not a community leader so it really doesn't matter what I do.
Idk, thanks for your time Stuart, but it just doesn't sit right with me. The idea that a business would seek out its customers on a public forum, instead of being directed to the business by the moderators of that forum is just a bit absurd to me.
I couldn't ever see myself, or anyone I work with, discussing business matters on an unofficial website, and I'd go so far as to say that it's downright unprofessional. Because, make no mistake, this is a business, and everything they say and do effects their numbers. Reddit will get their clicks no matter what, I'd imagine Fontier doesn't quite have that luxury.

All of the information is on the forums or frontier youtube channel.
Whoops, good point! I forgot about the official Youtube and Twitch channels too. Frontier are watching us everywhere :O
I even received an e-mail which informs me that the beta is arrived
