Remember kids, don't let the news tell you how to feel. Watch out for words in the title like "outrage" and "furious". Anger increases engagement and they know it.
Yeah internet "outrage" is a weird thing.
I scrambled 10 years of my reddit activity, which would appear to be outrage. But in reality it was more like "meh, well reddit sucks now, I guess I'll go somewhere else. I'll just remove whatever value I may have added to the site on my way out since I don't want to reward a corporation for bad behaviour."
I guess some people may be outraged, and they'll be the most vocal ones. But most people are probably like "this kinda sucks, but meh whatever" and move on. You just don't hear a lot from these people.
We could use AI to remove the clickbait from headlines automatically. 🤔
That's a fun idea 💡
