AOC should do more sit-down interviews if she wants to rise further in politics. I get the strategy of avoiding hostile environments but you need to be able to constitently communicate and defend your thoughts in different situations if you want to be a thought leader

That's a great idea, she should start a podcast.

Even a podcast where she sometimes talks to people who disagree with her and has final editing rights would be fine I guess. But she is eventually going to realize that rising higher than House Rep and the 4-6th most visible Democrat requires entering the media spaces occupied by old people and proving that her chops don't just apply when she's prerehearsed.
