People who bitch about headlines and “clickbait” I NEED you to understand how website traffic works. While most folks aren’t paid by click anymore, sites DO rely on traffic for a number of reasons so yeah, people are gonna write stories & headlines to achieve that
If you wanna complain, don’t read those stories? Show corporate offices that there’s a demand for stuff other than news, blogs & controversial opinions. And realize that the media landscape in general is SUPREMELY fucked. Otherwise, be quiet 😊
Lol shout out to the alt right fuckheads bombarding our GoT review with comments like “google recommended this article FOR SOME REASON” like yeah bc you assholes keep clicking it for hate reads
In short, we live in an attention economy baybee. That’s why deplatforming works & is essential! Use your brains, pick your battles on what’s worth your time and effort. It’s hard & twitter culture doesn’t promote it, but it’s something we all gotta work on
I for sure do. I’m trying to be better but I also get the satisfaction of a sick dunk. Thing is when you sick dunk Kotaku or Polygon or whoever, I guarantee you the people in charge do not give a fuck, but the people on the ground see it & it does nothing for them
You can follow @ty_grrrrrrrr.
