Honestly, outrage-bait / circlejerk articles like these is why I stopped using twitter and reddit to begin with. Hur dur, Elon bad, upvotes please. I don't disagree - I just don't want to see this kind of low-effort posts, which OP seems to excel at. Time for a mute.
The article is honestly really interesting for the details it gives. It's easy enough to dismiss anything as clickbait, but sometimes it just sounds like that old tired "Trump Derangement Syndrome" BS.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's clickbait, but personally I'm not that interested in a retelling of how he started gutting twitter shortly after he bought it last year. Maybe it's not this article per se, just the straw of musk spam that broke the camels back.
And you brought me into this why? You decided you needed to make that little swipe at me why, exactly?
Honestly, outrage-bait / circlejerk articles like these . . . I just don't want to see this kind of low-effort posts, which OP seems to excel at. . . .
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's clickbait . . .
Your words, my emphasis.
Thanks for emphasising I never called the article clickbait, just outrage-bait, circlejerk and low effort. And I do still think posting it here is just that.
Outrage-bait is clickbait. More specifically, it's a subset of clickbait.
Wikipedia:
Ragebait, rage-bait, rage baiting, and outrage baiting are similar Internet slang neologisms referring to manipulative tactics that feed on readers' anxieties and fears. They are all forms of clickbait. . . . The term rage bait, which has been cited since at least 2009, is a negative form of click-baiting as it relies on manipulating users to respond in kind to offensive, inflammatory "headlines", memes, tropes, or comments.
My bad. I thought clickbait just referred to headlines that don't deliver. Today I learned.
"Don't get me wrong"
Then say different words that mean different things...
This one isn't click bait. It's not about him saying something dumb, it's about something really dumb he did and in depth. If any other CEO did what this article outlines it would still be worth reading after getting some popcorn ready.
For all the people complaining that "Elon news are not tech", this one does go into relevant technical details of the matter.
Which is precisely why I posted it - because it went into the details of he did.
